The ruling was hailed by members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
"The truth of the matter is, schools deal with children, school board meetings are mostly for adults," said league President Philip Van Cleave.
Van Cleave said he believes McDonnell's ruling extends to meetings held at school administration buildings as well. He said his organization is continuing to push the General Assembly to lift the prohibition of firearms in schools.
"We're not going to hurt anybody," fellow league member Mike Stollenwerk said. "We're the ones you want around when you have the madman on the loose."
A survey of most South Hampton Roads cities found that while most school boards meet in administration or city hall buildings, officials could not recall anyone openly carrying a gun.
