Let's hope they don't undo this provision:

If a handgun is secured in a container, it may be un/loaded (18.2-308.1. Possession of firearm, stun weapon, or other weapon on school property prohibited C.(vi) a person who possesses an unloaded firearm that is in a closed container.was rendered null by 18.2-308. Personal protection; carrying concealed weapons; when lawful to carry; penalty B.10. Any person who may lawfully possess a firearm and is carrying a handgun while in a personal, private motor vehicle or vessel and such handgun is secured in a container or compartment in the vehicle or vessel;because this clause was incorporated into 18.2-308.1) You just can't take the container with you if you exit the vehicle.

Let's hope they don't take a lot of things or worse yet, give us something new.

1. The Government givith and the Government taketh away.

2. When bills are consolidated to put EVERYTHING in one container, separate issues sometimes get sneaked in.
