VA passes law allowing concealed weapons in bars and clubs.

In VA it is now legal to have a concealed weapon in a bar/club as long as you
1. have a concealed weapons permit
2. you can not drink in said bar/club if you are carrying a concealed weapon.
Now I support gun rights, but how is this a good idea? Alcohol, half-naked ladies, and guns do not mix period. I was really looking forward to going to the strip club later this month but might not go simply because of this change in the law. The news did not mention strip clubs but I would assume strip clubs are legally seen as clubs and with the location of Richmond clubs already kind of iffy and it has me a little worried.
One caveat to this law is that the owners may place a sign that says no guns allowed and if they catch someone on the property with a concealed weapon regardless of permit status they're allowed to force the person to leace or face charges of tresspassing. Bar owners across the state fought this law and are not happy to see that it passed.
I suppose on the upside this will create more jobs for security because I cannot imagine any strip club wanting a customer walking in with a concealed weapon. More bouncers will probably be needed to keep weapons out of the strip clubs
Got something to say?
