Why would anyone think carrying on metro trains and busses is illegal in Virginia?About the Metro, I've had weapon in my bag all locked up riding the blue line. It might have been illegal but it was out of sight and out of mind.
I don't understand why this continues to be an issue - if premises are leased and controlled by an entity for private purposes, that entity can ban gun carry, government ownership of the land notwithstanding.user wrote:No. but thay stand by the Leased property is covered by the same rules as owned property. So.. If they OWNED it, it would be private property and they could ban guns.Is the Red Cross a federal agency? Just having a federal corporate charter does not make it an agency of the U.S.
So if I rent the Richmond Coliseum, I can ban firearms?ed wrote:I don't understand why this continues to be an issue - if premises are leased and controlled by an entity for private purposes, that entity can ban gun carry, government ownership of the land notwithstanding.user wrote:No. but thay stand by the Leased property is covered by the same rules as owned property.

Yeah, why not? it's yours for the duration of your lease and preemption only applies to localities and their agents, not private parties?So if I rent the Richmond Coliseum, I can ban firearms?
What lawyer?The lawyer would appear to disagree with you, Mike.

§ 18.2-119. Trespass after having been forbidden to do so; penalties.
If any person without authority of law goes upon or remains upon the lands, buildings or premises of another, or any portion or area thereof, after having been forbidden to do so, either orally or in writing, by the owner, lessee, custodian or other person lawfully in charge thereof, ...
Would the red cross not have to prove that you read their terms and conditions on their web site? I don't think they post anything at the gate.a person enters in violation of their terms and conditions, e.g., carrying a gun, that person could be arrested for the class-one misdemeanor of trespassing.
Being new to NOVA, I am still a little fuzzy on a couple of issues having to do with avoiding federal property. In my home state it was pretty clear-cut - stay out of federal buildings, post offices, and military bases, and youwere fine. Here I ran into a couple of things that I am still unclear on.
1. My parking is in the Ballston Metro Center parking garage, 901N. Stuart Street (at Fairfax Drive). This appears to be a privately owned development that houses a Hilton hotel (hotel guests park in the same garage), restaurants, and other businesses. However, there are federal government offices in that complex that have their own entrance and elevator banks. I made small talk with the security guard posted in the common area outside the government entrance, who said that the government leases space there. I am assuming that I am fine carrying from my parking spot out to the street if I stay in the common hotel/business area. It this correct?
2. I know that I am legal to carry on the Metro. However, would I be legal where the Metro goes over federal land? I am specifically referring to the blue line from Rosslyn to Franconia/Springfield. I am assuming that going past the Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon, and National Airport, it has to go over federal land at some point. If I don't get off at any of those places, am I good to carry on the Metro while riding through there?
Thanks for your help."
Sorry but you really need to study VA laws.
I'm not interested in smelling the local fauna anyway. :lol:We're not in NOVA, but all roads in and out of Yorktown are surrounded by National Park (Colonial National Historical Park) land. It is legal to OC and CC on these roads as they are owned by and maintained by the state. I wouldn't stop to smell the flowers (or the rare and endangered local flora, the Yorktown Onion) or the local fauna, but you can certainly "bring your guns to town" and walk the streets of downtown Yorktown as we do several times a week.
