What does the bill state?
Would we berequired to notify them that we are complying with the statute, or required to notify them that we are carrying a concealed handgun?

I would like to let you know that I am a law-abiding citizen who takes self-defense seriously. Virginia State Law requires me to let you know that I am both licensed to carry a concealed handgun and am now carrying my personal defense handgun, discreetly concealed. I have passed a police criminal backround check; andI have passed the state-mandated gun safety training.
PS: I tipvery well for good service.
Are there enough votes and political will to override a veto?It doesn't really matter... the governor is going to veto it anyway.
But as a practical matter, I don't see walking it to a restaurant, asking for the ABC manager and saying, "I've got a gun." Perhaps we should have them add convenience stores and banks to the bill.
I still predict that eventually the notification requirement will have to go away. It will irritate and inconvenience everyone involved (the concealed gun carriers and especially the ABC Managers on duty) and it does not provide any tangible benefit.
Probably better to get this first step done this year, and then make it better next year.
I'm still surprised if there is not some Restaurant Association very much opposed to this notification idea.
