Are we sure that this is a private hospital? IANAL, but, I thought that only public corporations and entities could issue bonds in Virginia. This smells a lot like the Waterside incident in Danbustown, I mean Norfolk.

This issue of what is public and what is private really must be resolved, We have to make this a priority for the 2009 General Assembly Legislative Session. IMHO it should really not be couched in terms of gun rights, but in terms of civil rights.
Suggestion:
Something along the lines of: 2009 Virginia Civil RightsAssurance Bill.
Be it enacted that any government entity or quasi government entityor corporation that is owned or partially owned by the federal or state government or any subdivision thereof shall not have the power to enact or enforce legislation ordnances, administrative acts (including the VAC) or rules that deny persons the rights enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, first thirteen Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, or the Virginia Constitution. Any rules so enacted are null and void, and no person with law enforcement authority derived from the Commonwealth, or any sub-division thereof, shall have the power to enforce such legislation, ordnances, administrative acts (including the VAC) or rules.
The Legislature of the Commonwealth intends to fully occupy the power to enact such legislation, including the balancing of rights, within the Commonwealth, and subordinate entities may only enactsuch civil rights legislation when specifically authorized by the Virginia Legislature.
