As a Virginia citizen, resident of Old Town Alexandria, and licensed concealed carry holder, I strongly oppose this gun ban. Not only is this a response to a nonexistent threat, but it also applies to responsible, licensed holders of concealed carry permits, who are far less likely than the average public, and even the police, to commit a gun crime (it doesn't cover Governor McCauliffe's bodyguards though--shocker). I have a right to feel safe when out running errands, picking up something from an ABC store, or visiting a government property, and this regulation undermines this by restricting my second amendment rights for no good reason.
