This proposed regulation will not stop attacks by terrorists, violent criminals, and the criminally insane.  Disarming law abiding citizens does NOT make them safer. They’re the only ones likely to obey the prohibition!  We have had NO shootings in state agencies and this prohibition on those with a concealed handgun permit, some of whom have active and ongoing threats to their lives, is unjustified as well as needlessly and recklessly endangers innocent lives.

In addition, the Governor has no authority for this regulation.  If the General Assembly wanted the Governor to have such power, they would have granted it to him explicitly, as is required constitutionally.

As a retired soldier, I am incensed that I would be defenseless anywhere in the Commonwealth of Virginia where I am barred from carrying a concealed weapon or open carry.  I fought FOR the US Constitution, not for the moronic liberals in this country to take away my rights!!  This regulation should not be approved and the emergency regulation withdrawn.
 
Please extended the comment period for another 30 days so everyone who opposes this infringement on the right of people to protect themselves will have ample time to oppose it as I do!
