I'm shocked no one else beat me to this... on the front page of today's Richmond Times-Dispatch Metro section, there is a highlighted section on the Museum of Fine Arts and open carry. It includes quotes from the museum spokeswoman - noting that patrons with openly carried guns will be asked to return them to the car, but will still be allowed admittance if they refuse. The only possibly inaccurate part notes that the museum recently learned that Virginia is "one of the few states that allow guns worn openly". I know elsewhere on this forum it says 44 states allow some form of open carry, so perhaps they would disagree (even thoughanyone over 18 not otherwise precluded can open carry here in Virginia - unlicensed- almost everywhere, including public meetings and facilities, libraries, banks, public museums, etc - which is certainly not true in the overwhelming majority of those 44 states, so possibly that is what she meant (or even said) and the reporter messed it up from there?).
