State law establishes the right of certain citizens to carry concealed weapons.
Under this law, a permit holder may carry a concealed weapon into a site filled with young people. In youth meeting sites in Fairfax County, we have zero tolerance for weapons. Meeting site managers may authorize law enforcement officers to provide such security as needed. These managers seek the right to prohibit the carrying of arms by anyone else. Managers are deeply concerned that, because of current Virginia law, young-looking permit holders have entered recreation centers with their concealed weapons.
