"Vexit" is taking off. matter of fact, that's the exact term they are using now - remember folks, you saw it HERE first!
I just saw a WV Representative on Tucker Carlson discussing the matter, and it's apparent that a great deal of though as to how the nuts and bolts of a transfer would work have already gone into it. He discussed matters of how licensure transfers, etc., would work, as well as what we can do as counties (short of taking up arms and daring Richmond to stop us) if the Legislature in Richmond says "no, we're not giving up your tax revenue, so just sit down and shut up, and take it, bitches!" We can take that to court and sue the state for self-determination, and likely win.
Some folks are agitating to join Kentucky instead, which I am having to lay back down as soon as they pop up - for one thing, KY has not made the offer, and WV HAS - and they have the constitutional grounds to make it happen.
The county next door - Tazewell County - scheduled a meeting on their Vexit. Find the story here. It was held this past Tuesday - here's how it went.
Don't step on us, because we will bite the living shit out of you! Virginia should consult with one Wayne Herschel and one Judy Faltskog (alias James van Greunen) to find out just how easy folks like me are to make lay down.
It don't happen until they kill us.
ETA: In other VA Second Amendment news, the House of Representatives debated the "Assault Weapons Ban" (HB 961) in committee today. They changed some of the bill, most notably removing the registration requirement for existing "assault firearms" and increasing the magazine limit from 10 rounds to 12 (that right there is just a feel-good smoke screen - I've never seen or heard of a 12 round AR magazine). Mere possession of a standard capacity AR magazine - even without the AR to fit it to - would suddenly become a felony. This despite the fact that the California magazine ban was just declared unconstitutional last Friday. The bill passed the committee on a 12-9 party-line vote, and is going to the floor for debate and vote. When the committee passed it, some 200 Liberty Supporters started chanting the Virginia state motto of "Sic Semper Tyrannis" ("Thus Always to Tyrants"), and the chair got so scared he had the chamber cleared by the Capitol Police and Virginia State Police. Think deeply on that for a moment - simply chanting the STATE MOTTO made the gun grabbers pee themselves just a little bit. The STATE MOTTO.
Maybe they need to pass a bill to change the state motto to something more Socialist friendly... something like "Bend over and grab your ankles, subjects!". Perhaps "comrades!" would be a better choice to end the new motto with, I dunno. I'll think about it a bit before sending off a fiery letter to the chair detailing what a pussy I think he is...
Here is the current text of HB 961 as it stands after the revisions. All of the "Assault Firearm" and "high capacity ammunition feeding device" and "silencer" mumbo jumbo is hidden at the end of it, after you've already been put to sleep by the truancy language at the beginning.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
