Just more proof that Virginia is turning into California. Apparently you can be fired in Virginia for simply having a concealed carry permit. Storm Durham, the now former Virginia social worker was fired just for having a concealed carry permit, not for having a gun on her.

I was fired today. From Roanoke City Social Services, serving as a damn good social worker. I was fired for having a concealed carry permit. Not the gun, the permit. I was escorted by 3 city police officers bc I am a "safety risk to the building"

It would be one thing if Storm Durham had actually brought a gun to her job with her and into the Roanoke City Social Service building. But simply having a permit get you fired now? Roanoke must be the new San Francisco.
“I have a concealed carry permit. I own guns. I hunt. I target shoot. I represent Women hunters and outdoorswomen. Does that make me a criminal? Does that make me a safety risk to others? A big enough safety risk to be escorted by three Roanoke City Police officers?” asked Durham of what appears to be a humiliating ordeal. “So scary and threatening that I need to be treated like a criminal?” she added.
Durhamsaid that she never brought her firearm to the office, and that she bought one for self-protection being a survivor of sexual assault.
“I am an American, a gun owner, and a proud sponsor of hunting across America, and I, nor my lawyers, judges, or support systems will rest until something is done until someone answers for punishing me and taking away my constitutional right,” she declared.
