18-2.308-J1. Any person permitted to carry a
concealed handgun,
who is under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs while carrying such handgun in a public place, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
Conviction of any of the following offenses shall be prima facie evidence, subject to rebuttal, that the person is "under the influence" for purposes of this section: manslaughter in violation of §
18.2-36.1, maiming in violation of §
18.2-51.4, driving while intoxicated in violation of §
18.2-266, public intoxication in violation of §
18.2-388, or driving while intoxicated in violation of §
46.2-341.24. Upon such conviction that court shall revoke the person's permit for a concealed handgun and promptly notify the issuing circuit court. A person convicted of a violation of this subsection shall be ineligible to apply for a concealed handgun permit for a period of five years.
My take on this is that you have to be convicted of one of the statutes listed in order to be deemed "under the influence" while carrying a "Concealed Handgun".
So, If he had just taken a drink of his just ordered beer and was "open carrying", what crime did he commit????????
