Norfolk Scope & Churches 18.2-283
I know you can carry at the gun showes at Norfolk Scope, but can you carry inside the main building?
I also am trying to figure this code out, "to a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place " if I went the the Norfolk scope, next year they have winter jam 2011. Would I break this law? It's not at a Church its at the Scope, but its a christian concert so I do not know if that applys????? can a place of religious worship not be at a church? I would think it applys to churches only............:uhoh: but then again the WORD "SUCH PLACE" which defines as what? any where a church, event is meeting?
IT is tricky, It says to a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place while a meeting for religious purposes is being held, is a concert defined as meeting purposes? and does the Scope fall under "SUCH PLACE"
§ 18.2-283. Carrying dangerous weapon to place of religious worship.
If any person carry any gun, pistol, bowie knife, dagger or other dangerous weapon, without good and sufficient reason, to a place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held at such place he shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor.
I think its a No no, but I want to find out. I do not want to go if I can not carry, anit leaving it in the car at the scope thats a very bad idea.
