Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I wouldn't think so. Unless I'm mis-remembering 18.2-308.J.3. Restaurant or club.

18-2-308.J3. No person shall carry a concealed handgun onto the premises of any restaurant or club as defined in § 4.1-100 for which a license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption has been granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board under Title 4.1 of the Code of Virginia; however, nothing herein shall prohibit any sworn law-enforcement officer from carrying a concealed handgun on the premises of such restaurant or club or any owner or event sponsor or his employees from carrying a concealed handgun while on duty at such restaurant or club if such person has a concealed handgun permit.
§ 4.1-100. Definitions.
"Club" means any private nonprofit corporation or association which is the owner, lessee, or occupant of an establishment operated solely for a national, social, patriotic, political, athletic, or other like purpose, but not for pecuniary gain, the advantages of which belong to all of the members. It also means the establishment so operated. A corporation or association shall not lose its status as a club because of the conduct of charitable gaming conducted pursuant to Article 1.1:1 (§ 18.2-340.15 et seq.) of Chapter 8 of Title 18.2 in which nonmembers participate frequently or in large numbers, provided that no alcoholic beverages are served or consumed in the room where such charitable gaming is being conducted while such gaming is being conducted and that no alcoholic beverages are made available upon the premises to any person who is neither a member nor a bona fide guest of a member.
"Restaurant" means, for a mixed beverage license other than a limited mixed beverage restaurant license, an established place of business (i) where meals with substantial entrees are regularly sold and (ii) which has adequate facilities and sufficient employees for cooking, preparing, and serving such meals for consumption at tables in dining areas on the premises, and includes establishments specializing in full course meals with a single substantial entree.
I'm not a Lawyer, but I think you're ok to carry in Whole Foods.

Some of the key words in the code are.....
"..... for which a license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption has been granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board."

We've beat this one to death many times before. It has to be a restaurant or club. They can sell beer at public events for on premisesconsumption but the sale and consumption alone doesn't mean you can't CC there.

Now, now. Just because we have a high post count and have heard it all before doesn't mean we have to be cranky to the new guys.

I noticed a couple of them cranky after the NOVA picnic today.
Must have been the heat and humidity.

Bbut what I am saying is in the case of Whole Foods, the on-premise consumption seals the deal.
They don't sell and serve alcohol for on-premise consumption.
Maybe I should have been a little bit clearer. My bad!

I agree "restaurant or club" are pretty important elements in the code section.

Do an ABC license search, it will clarify the code. If they have a "Restaurant license" to serve alcohol, it is OC only.
If it is any other type, you are good to go.

OC'd there last night with a blackhawk serpa holster for quite a while, wandered all over the store trying to find some vanilla bean pods for my creme brule...did i just lose man points.....? I was expecting at least some mention, as the types who shop there are typically not the gun friendly sort. However not so much as a sideways glance.

If you didn't get noticed, you must have been doing something wrong!
You should have walked around the shopping center a little longer until someone said something!
You know the only reason we carry is to get noticed.
</sarcasm>
I rarely have anything said anymore from non-LE (except the "Is that a Glock" question). I was in that area every Sunday for past eight (8) months. Theyare all used to it - even a few OC outside of work and now have CHPs. They might have just been thankful you didn't have three tired and screaming kids with you.
