Not to be a pain, but can you give us some kind of cite indicating CC is ok for Banquet Special Event?If the ABC designation is "Banquet Special Event", which is likely, then there is no OC requirement. CC is allowed except in places with an ABC designation of "club" or "restaurant". If you're referring to Celebrate Fairfax!, that is indeed the case:

Kinda like Open Carry, CC for a Banquet Special Event is okay because it's not prohibited.Not to be a pain, but can you give us some kind of cite indicating CC is ok for Banquet Special Event?
~ BoydNo 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.
Laws tell you what you CAN'T do, not what you CAN do.I know you're asking for something concrete in the reverse, but I don't have that cite, nor have I found it to exist.

I'm not sure what you're looking for with this. There's no law prohibiting CC in that type of venue, so there won't be a court case saying that it's allowed. Well, someone could screw up and charge something that doesn't exist, but that really doesn't happen all that often.Understood, but I could cite a court decision that backs the stated opinion, but I was unable to find any..

For example, is there Virginia case law that says open carry is legal? I don't know one way or the other, but I don't recall ever seeing it cited here.
