With the enviroment we live in today carrying a firearm for protection is a must. For two reason one because allowing people to protect themselves from people that want to do harm to them or the enviroment they are in deters bad people. If they don't know what is in the area then they will most likely not attack that enviroment because the people have the ability to protect themselves. Now on the other hand lets look  places where guns are not aloud in the country. Schools, malls,,Etc I can go on and on but we all know good in well what happens in those area the Government calls gun Free zones. People die from shootings. I would think that the Va Government would want the people who work with the state in a proected safe enviroment an that enviroment is one where citzens can Conceal carry or Open carry because it is a deterence to anyone that wants to committ mass shootings. You need to think before to try to pass this law because by passing it you are opeing up the Employees and the people who are in the enviroment to grave danger because they will not have a means to fight back.... Use common sense please for once in your life. Good people stop bad people with guns. Law abiding people who are able to carry firearms should be aloud to carry any where in the state
