Just a quick question. If the bill passes in the Senate and the law takes effect, how would we know if the restaurant allows this? Would we just conceal carry, and if someone notices and tells managment we find out that way? Or do we call ahead of time to the places we plan on going and ask what there rules are concerning this?
I hope this passes, because I do not drink, but like to go out with family and friends that do. Being able to conceal carry would make me feel that much safer. I know open carry is allowed if permitted, but I personally feel better concealing than open carrying..... Especially around a bunch of drunks that like to talk $h!t when they see someone with a sidearm.
Whats your thought guys / gals?
After Thought............ Would this also be for clubs? Or just restaurants?
Senate Bill 476 passed by a 9-4 vote. Authored by State Senator Emmett Hanger (R-24), SB476 is an important concealed carry reform bill that would allow restaurant owners to decide if lawfully concealed firearms are allowed in their establishments, provided the permit holder does not consume alcohol. Current Virginia statute allows restaurateurs to permit open carrying, but not concealed carry for lawfully permitted citizens. Please contact the following Senators and thank them for further enhancing Virginia's Right-to-Carry statute by supporting and voting for SB476:
