There is no meaningful history of this having presented any problems nor is there any reasonasble indication of a risk here. Citizens who have permits to carry concealed weapons in the Commonwealth of Virginia have undergone appropriate background checks and are law abiding citizens. If a non-permitted person carries a concealed weapon ANYWHERE, they are already breaking the law. This is a politically-motivated ban and not one based on well-reasoned risk-assessment.
