I want to see concealed carry banned in public buildings
 

Allowing guns to be carried in public spaces makes those spaces more dangerous.  The more guns, the more bullets flying, the more confusion for law enforcement in a crisis situation.  With easy access to concealed carry and the complete lack of hands on training required in VA, anyone with a quick temper and poor judgment (or worse) has access to deadly force in a public space where I and my family might happen to be.  Government's first obligation is to maintain public safety.  Banning concealed carry in public buildings advances that end.  My votes go to candidates who support sensible gun regulation such as this.
