No, you cannot carry a weapon onto any government property. This includes libraries. For more information on VA laws go to:
Virginia State Police - Firearms/Concealed Weapons
PS: Bringing a weapon into a library is dangerous. Most libraries these days are full of babies, toddlers and kids. They have a ton of children programs. My kids go there for reading events and other items.

100% B.S.post.
1. There is no general prohibition against carrying firearms on government property in Virginia, including libraries. Specific property is prohibited such as schools and courthouses. In fact, with Virginia's state preemption law it would be illegal for a local government to prohibit firearms in public libraries, that would have to be a state law, which no current state law exists prohibiting firearms in libraries.
2. Libraries are not dangerous places to carry firearms due to the presence of children. Take your "it's for the sake of the children" crap to some webiste like Mom's Demand Action where it is welcomed.
More evidence of FireRunner's tendency to lean towards the anti's point of view:

Not bringing a weapon into a library is dangerous:
Man arrested on assault charges in bloody attack at San Francisco Main Library | Crime & Courts | San Francisco | San Francisco Examiner
and FireRunner won't come back to defend his/her statements either....because there are no facts to back them up.

Wow, these boards are mean. I haven't come back to "defend" my post because I haven't visited the site. Sorry but geez...you guys are jerks! And I'm against guns? I own a Sig 229E and a SW MP9. I shoot at my range at least 2-3 times a month. I also have a CCP for Virginia. I may not have the same view as you in terms of "everyone's opinion is wrong and I'm right", but I'm allowed to have an opinion.
I've been reading these boards for a while and this site has great info. I'm shocked to see the type of attitudes and posts from some people here. There is a thing called common sense and the attitudes you have towards other people is exactly why so many people dislike guns. It's not the guns they dislike, it's the people who own them. I have friends who are gun enthusiasts and they would never post this sort of mean spirited immature posts.
I apparently do not fit into your crowd. See ya.

Dude, sorry you got your panties in a wad, but you probably will find that this sight is not much different than most, and above all don't post something unless you are 110% sure its fact, or post it as your opinion, because its a good bet somebody will correct you on it, especialy when it come to rules and regulations, and Navy eat this up and most of the time I commend him for it, cause he has to look it up nobody could know all that ****, ..........now as to your post, do you honestly think a BG is going to give a dam if you can have a gun in a library or anywhere else, and lets say your in that library and its full of kids, and some deranged moron comes in pissed as hell and starts shooting because the hot looking libraryan would not nave sex with him, what would you rather do call 911 if you have a chance, or kill the SOB
In Virginia you can open carry a firearm into a library if you wish. How do I know...because we have VCDL meetings at the libraries sometimes and everyone open carries. You can carry a firearm into every state government building (including the general assembly building...conceal carry permits only...once inside you can open carry...join us for lobby day in January) except courts, jails, schools (with exceptions), places of worship. But if you want to keep the peace, conceal carry. You may not carry a firearm onto any federal government installation, building, etc, yes even if it is on Virginia soil. Be extra cautious carrying on the GW Parkway in Virginia. Part of the parkway is actually on Washington DC land. Do not drive into the Pentagon Parking lot with a firearm...federal land. There are some exceptions for the airports. Contact the VCDL.org for further instructions.
Pretty standard answer from someone who just can't simply admit that they were mistaken.
That might be your opinion, but it certainly does not make it fact or mean that it applies to anyone else in Virginia. If you did believe that statement was fact, I would love to know where you heard it from....CCW Instructor, police officer or gun shop employee?
Let's see.... posting stupid, incorrect, and uninformed BS, and then being a whiny cry-baby when someone calls you on it.... Nope, you definitely don't fit in with this crowd.

FireRunner, I was particularly offended by this. The 'it's for the children' cry comes always from the gun control crowd. Your post just mimics that and is nonsensical as well. How can bringing a weapon into a library be dangerous? Care to explain your opinion?

Firerunner, made one point that is obviously correct.
The behavior, at least in this thread, is unbridled and very antagonistic toward anyone who doesn't agree with certain members.
It's not new behavior on the web. But it is disappointing that civil discourse is not possible because of the anomenity syndrome.
I doubt that many of you would take the same tone or attitude in direct, face to face conversation.
For one, it isn't socially acceptable. For the other reason, well, one expects better behavior from adults.

What is your reaction to this, Mr. Jones0430?

Is it, in reality, B.S. - or just someone's opinion that differs from some members' opinions on this forum? Do you value your gun rights, Mr. Jones0430? The problem is if we don't stand up and call anti-gun rhetoric for what it is in real life then the people who push such propaganda will push it all the way to the legislature where the politicians will cater to those who squawk the loudest and you will soon find that guns are prohibited by law in schools (oh wait, how about that, most law abiding parents in most states can't legally carry a gun in school!)...and then libraries....and then parks....and then restaurants that serve beer...then laws that say you have to run away before you can use your firearm in your own home to protect yourself...and it won't stop until a large number of people stand up and start saying, "THIS IS B.S.!" Then it is usually too late because it takes 100 times more effort to gain something back that has already been taken away from you. It's time that the pro-gun side starting squawking as loud as the anti-gun side has been squawking for decades now.
FireRunner is certainly entitled to express his opinions. And I am certainly equally entitled to express my opinion regarding FireRunner's opinion. It's entertaining that FireRunner still has not enlightened us as to the source of his claim that "No, you cannot carry a weapon onto any government property. This includes libraries." Or will you also take exception to my asking the source of information stated as fact, especially when it is clearly erroneous?
