Places off-limits while carrying a defensive firearm in Virginia:

School property/school functions unless gun is unloaded, in an enclosed container (but NOT in the glove box or console) and in the vehicle. A car's trunk is considered an enclosed container.

However, a concealed handgun permit holder can have a loaded, concealed handgun in the vehicle while in the school parking lot, traffic circle, etc. The concealed handgun and the permit holder must stay in the vehicle. Firearms are not banned from property open to the public where a school function is being held unless that property is being used exclusively for the school function.

Violation of this statute is a felony.

“Violation of this statute is a felony.”

Oh no, this person then is a felony ‘suspect’!

Sad situation for the youngsters and the workers, wish they would be allowed to be armed and this stuff would really not happen this often.
But then, what do we know, we are not paid-off by special interest groups.

Which proves the point that a person willing to commit murder is a person willing to violate all standing firearms laws. So firearms laws are no deterrent to murder.

The point being; If students were allowed to carry on campus, maybe, just maybe one might have been able to put an end to the shooter before they got as far as they did.

All the worst mass murders happen in gun free zones - all the school shootings that were stopped quickly were in areas that allowed the armed citizen to intervene.
