GUNS IN BARS LAW TAKES EFFECT
Lawmakers Who Voted for Controversial Law Include Some Not-So-Usual Suspects


Richmond, Virginia—A new law has taken effect in Virginia allowing concealed handgun permit holders to carry loaded handguns into any establishment that has a liquor license; including bars, nightclubs, restaurants, pizza parlors and bowling alleys.  The legislation, SB 334, was adamantly opposed by the Virginia Hospitality & Travel Association, but passed the Democratic-controlled Senate by a vote of 22-18 in February and the Republican-controlled House of Delegates by a vote of 72-27 in March.  Governor Bob McDonnell signed the bill in April.
