House Bill 505, which would amend the current Virginia concealed carry laws as to allow lawful concealed carry in bars and restaurants so long as the permit holder consumes no alcohol on the premises. Here's the NRA-ILA take:

On Tuesday, February 9, the House Militia, Police and Public Safety Committee passed HB505, by a vote of 16 to 6.
House Bill 505 would allow a concealed carry permit holder to carry his or her firearm into a restaurant, provided he or she does not consume any alcohol. This bill is similar to last year’s bill that was passed by both the House and Senate Chambers and ultimately vetoed by Governor Tim Kaine (D).

Two legislators, Delegate Jim Shuler (D-12) and Delegate Bill Barlow (D-64), who previously supported reforming Virginia's concealed carry statute, voted against this year’s bill.

This bill will make my life a lot easier. I'm very meticulous about carry laws, and as a committed pedestrian in an urban area I'm often unable to join my friends at unplanned dinners in restaurants. Once this bill passes I'll be able to enter a restaurant and enjoy dinner with them.
