I strongly oppose this regulation. All it does is prohibit me as a law-abiding citizen from being armed and being able to prtect myself and my family. Bad guys aren't going to stop at the door and say I won't go in this location and do bad things because they have a sign on the door that prohibits firearms. Are you really going to hire armed security guards and metal detectors for every state agency building in every location across the Commonwealth to actually enforce this regulation - because that's really the only way you can enforce something like this.
How many shootings have there been in state agency buildings in the last 10 years, 20 years, ever? Come on, this is nothing but a feel-good regulation aimed at making Virginia look more friendly to gun-grabber politicians.
