I know I really need to ask these questions of my lawyer. I just wanted to throw this out there and see where it goes.

Scenario 1) A company dinner party in a private room at a restaurant. Is an employee of that company, who has a CHP, and is giving a presentation or a speech or in some way is an organizer of the dinner party, prohibited from carrying a concealed handgun?
Scenario 2) A musician performing in a restaurant. Is said musician, who has a CHP, an event sponsor or an employee of the restaurant to the extent that would allow the carrying of a concealed handgun? What if the musician is not being paid by the restaurant, but is permitted and encouraged by the owner to perform on the premises for tips?
Scenario 3) A contractor hired by a restaurant to work on their computers. Is a contractor, who has a CHP, and is only there on a short-term assignment of less than one day, considered an employee to the extent that would allow the carrying of a concealed handgun? For that matter, is a long-term contractor considered an employee?
Scenario 4) Does anyone have any more?

I can not find "employee" or "event sponsor" defined anywhere in the code of Virginia, but I'm sure those terms have been defined by the courts at some point. Can anyone provide legal definitions of those terms?nothing herein shall prohibit [...] any owner or event sponsor or his employees from carrying a concealed handgun while on duty at such restaurant or club if such person has a concealed handgun permit.
