He just opened up state buildings as a shooting range ... not only banning open carry, but CCW.

Don't state buildings have cops guarding them?

Some do, but I haven't seen cops guarding DMV buildings, ABC stores, etc. - this is T-Mac's reasoning:

The ease of access to firearms by criminals and others intent on harm is even more concerning when viewed in light of the general open access to our public facilities. Every day, over 60,000 Virginians report to work in state government buildings across the Commonwealth to provide services to their fellow Virginians. Our citizens rely on open access to these facilities to address their personal and professional needs. Whether it is to incorporate a business, renew a driver’s license, apply for a job, seek a permit, or just to attend a public hearing, our government facilities are essential to allowing our citizens access to their government representatives. Allowing open carry in these facilities by individuals who may not lawfully possess a firearm exposes our state employees and fellow citizens to unnecessary risk.

Every one? Seems extraordinarily unlikely.
