I know we don't discuss CC much here, but in a legislative sense, do regulations require approval of the general assembly?

No, regulations do not require legislative approval. But as Grapeshot mentioned, they have to go through a formal process before they are implemented. Executive orders are not regulations.
My first impressions are that because there is statute law regarding where CC is permitted and prohibited there needs to something in the Va Administrative Code (similar to what public universities have done) to enact this restriction. My guess is that if every comment received was against this and every even barely gun-friendly legislator wrote opposing this it would still happen.
Someone on another board wrote about the chances of getting this reversed:
Nothing like a complete abandonment of the Republican gubernatorial candidate by his so-called party to put a loathsome Democrat in office. (By this I am applying the adjective to this governor specifically, not all Democrats in general. Not all are loathsome. Some are even tolerable. )
Beaten by 2.5 percentage points in a race where the Republican party spent almost nothing to support "their" candidate compared to what they spent to elect their candidate (the currently imprisoned Bob McDonnell) last election.
Thanks again, traitors!
McAuliffe is going to go down in history as the first Governor who actually Did Something[SUP]TM[/SUP].
stay safe.
