I voted yes, I hope that was what you wanted. At least you can carry there, even if it is open. I have never been somewhere with that law. What is the objection? Is it the hassle of remembering or that you get outed by going in?
Should Virginia residents be allowed to carry concealed weapons inside bars and restaurants?

looks like we will be able to . its up to the gov. Kaine. vcdl just reported that the bill and the one for carrying with out a permit in a locked glove box is headed to the governor's desk . passed senate and house votes. looks like it will become law finally.........Virginia Citizens Defense League, Inc. (VCDL) for details
I don't trust Kaine-I think he may try to veto. Did you see the article about the guy who owns a restaurant(says he's also a gun owner) saying he sees no reason for weapons in restaurants. Said the crabs are going to go after people?
What he is essentially saying is that it's impossible some thug or maniac will try something in his restaurant.
So he can guarantee everyone's safety? Metal detectors at the entrances? Pat downs for weapons? Armed guards? Don't think so.......I'm sure the people at VA Tech,NIU,and Colombine thought it could never happen too......:buttkick:

This law is a real issue for me. I currently live in PA where we can CCW in bars. It is a non-issue. There are not any bar fights turning into gun fights.
But I'm moving to AZ this summer and they don't allow CCW in bars.....lame.
To me its not so much the bars as it is the normal restaurants that sell alcohol. I would have rather they done a 51% rule without this notification crapolla.
And we're slipping.....

Also, if you live in VA you need to take a minute and send Governor Kaine an e-mail and let him know how you feel about Senate Bill 436 and 476 and encourage him to pass the bills into law. Also write your deligate and thank them if they voted yes. Let your voice be heard! :hand10:
