Has anyone OC'd there before? I've heard great things about their 'contents'. I have been meaning to go but do not desire to remain defenseless. I have not been able to obtain any info thus far. Thanks!

"...The museum was established in 1923 by American Legion Post #25 (The Braxton/Perkins Post) as the American Legion Memorial Museum of Virginia. The City of Newport News assumed administration of the museum in the 1950's...."
Does preemption exist? It is located on CITY Property (Huntington Park) and according to the website and quoted above, administered by the city of Newport News. I've OCd at the partk many times, but never into the museum.
Where would one start the research process? Contacting the museum to see who owns the museum or the city? I'm willing to do the legwork if someone will guide me through the process.
P.S. The "Contact Us" info also has a "nngov.com" e-mail address, too. If I'm not terribly mistaken, they SHOULD allow OC or CC because it appears to be CITY PROPERTY...

It would seem that settles the matter.LOL...I just found this while browsing a municode list linked to from another post:

Guess that pretty much sums up ownership as well.
Here's the response I got from them after askign directly about their Weapons Policy:
Mr. =======,
I am writing in response to your inquiry about firearms regulations at the Virginia War Museum. The museum does not have any regulations or laws pertaining to the lawful carrying of a firearm on its property. If you choose to carry your firearm, please make sure you are in full compliance with the Commonwealth’s laws pertaining to carrying a firearm. If you have any specific questions about carrying your firearm at the Virginia War Museum, or any property controlled by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism please call me at 757-591-4848.
Sincerely,
Rob Farrell
