Let's hope they don't undo this provision:
If a handgun is secured in a container, it may be un/loaded (18.2-308.1. Possession of firearm, stun weapon, or other weapon on school property prohibited C.(vi) a person who possesses an unloaded firearm that is in a closed container.was rendered null by 18.2-308. Personal protection; carrying concealed weapons; when lawful to carry; penalty B.10. Any person who may lawfully possess a firearm and is carrying a handgun while in a personal, private motor vehicle or vessel and such handgun is secured in a container or compartment in the vehicle or vessel;because this clause was incorporated into 18.2-308.1) You just can't take the container with you if you exit the vehicle.
Why can't they take the container with them when they exit the vehicle?
