Just saw a post on the VCDL Facebook page about the Norfolk CA being arrested for DUI and possession of a concealed weapon while intoxicated.

I thought CA's were exempted from that along with LEO's?

Edit: Finally found one of the threads confirming from back when the law was passed. http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/s...-bills-SB476-and-SB776-won-t-admit-he-s-wrong!

So I'm guessing those charges will be dropped, I'm sure they DUI will also find it's way into the dustbin. Nothing to see here folks, move along......

As far as I know, LEO's aren't exempted except for the brothers in arms rule.
Henrico is famous for busting cops from other venues.

CAs are exempt from needing a CHP in order to lawfully carry concealed.

Howsomeever, it is unlawful to carry while under the influence.
§ 18.2-308.012. Prohibited conduct.

A. Any person permitted to carry a concealed handgun who is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while carrying such handgun in a public place is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. Conviction of any of the following offenses shall be prima facie evidence, subject to rebuttal, that the person is "under the influence" for purposes of this section: manslaughter in violation of § 18.2-36.1, maiming in violation of § 18.2-51.4, driving while intoxicated in violation of § 18.2-266, public intoxication in violation of § 18.2-388, or driving while intoxicated in violation of § 46.2-341.24. Upon such conviction that court shall revoke the person's permit for a concealed handgun and promptly notify the issuing circuit court. A person convicted of a violation of this subsection shall be ineligible to apply for a concealed handgun permit for a period of five years

Notice that it does not say any person carrying a concealed handgun who posseses a CHP. It applies to CAs and the Harbormaster of Hopewell and all those others who do not need CHPs, and also to those who carry concealed without lawful permission.

stay safe.
