It's time to Open Carry at the Henrico Public Safety building..
I was speaking with a detective by phone and arranging to meet at the public safety building, and was advised not to "conceal carry" or otherwise bring any firearms into the building for the "officers safety"
Upon calling back to speak with a supervisor, I stated that I felt I had the legal right to carry open or concealed as a law abiding citizen and had no intention of NOT CC'ing unless expressly probhibited by law.
His challenge was: "Since you know the law so well, cite the code of Virginia that allows you to carry in a police station" -- My reply was, the law tells me what I CAN'T DO BY DEFAULT.. (rule #1 -- never get into an "on the stop duel" reciting code, they have more practice)
The guy backed down after I reminded him the proposed legislation(although I could not quote it, he acknowledged) to ALLOW counties to probhibit this had FAILED this year.
