Criticisms
VCDL has been criticized in some gun rights forums, and particularly on opencarry.org, for supporting the gun privileges of concealed handgun permit holders rather than the rights protected by the Virginia constitution. This practice is known as P4P, which stands for perks for permittees. Some on the VCDL Board of Trustees own businesses that are based upon delivering permit education classes.

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
