A bill that would have limited access to records of persons licenses to carry concealed handguns died in a Virginia Senate committee. The committee voted 8-7 not to carry over the legislation for study until next year. The bill was introduced after a Roanoke Times editorial writer encouraged people to check the list of permit holders and provided a link to the state police database. (3/3/08)
