In VA it is illegal to carry in a church during a worship service without good and sufficient reason. The AG has just issued a letter stating that personnel protection is good and sufficient reason.

Note: Churches since they are private property can ban firearms, but there is not a blanket ban on them now, or at least the lack of a ban for self defense has been given some official sanction.

News from a VCDL email.

Some more good news for VA, now on to constitutional carry.
