Can't find the cite right now, but I have read that guns are not allowed in any of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs cemeteries.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

VA uses the CFR to ban all guns from all their properties, even parking lots.
I'll have to search for the cites too, but this is a well known problem with VA.

Am I reading this right? This little cemetery is in the middle of a park... you can carry in the park, but not inside the brick-walled cemetery...?
Crazy.
Especially since the graves are soldiers... it would make just as much sense to replace that sign with this:

Of course not. This is an attempt by scum that do not understand the law to enforce their opinion cloaked in the law.
Right fred thats what makes it so stupid. The parking lot is about 1/4 mile away and besides reanactments/maintnance i have never seen anyone enter the cemeterey area (it might even be locked i never even tried the gate). I am at the park at least 1-2 times a week walking th dog/oc. Lots of out of staters and ive had good discussions with most of them. A few whackos but not many

And also with another politician from Houston, TX. She was elected by the residents of Houston's cemeteries and local "residents" (with no fixed address) whom she provided rides and McDonalds Gift certificates. She hasn't been impeached yet, either. They keep re-electing her. Headstones, illegals and the homeless DO get to vote in TX.
Its too bad one can't carry at VA hospitals. There are some 'characters' on the grounds of the Hampton VA hospital I'd rather not deal with on a personal level.
Do some of them have MD behind there name? :lol:

I asked the Park Service where the "federal facilities" are, to which the sign implicitly refers. Here's their response:

Sorry, I missed this question, earlier. Simple answer is, "no". There's a difference between "illegal" and "unlawful". The former is a prohibition; the latter merely refers to that which is unauthorized. I'd guess the average Va. GDC judge would say that the word, "unlawful", is a pretty clear indication of the landowner/property manager/tenant's intent with respect to firearms. He's not saying it's "illegal", so technically, it's not a lie.
