U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Earlier this week, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors considered a proposed ordinance banning firearms in certain public places.
File 21-320 prohibits possessing, carrying, or transporting firearms, ammunition, or components in or on county-owned or controlled buildings, parks, and recreation centers. There are no exemptions for concealed handgun permit holders or for storage in parked vehicles. Because this ban includes “components,” citizens may find themselves in legal trouble for accidentally entering one of these “gun-free zones” with something as simple as a shell casing forgotten in a pocket or accidentally left in a vehicle.
While the county “may approve and order implemented” security measures for these “gun-free zones,” nothing in this proposed ordinance actually requires them to do anything to keep disarmed citizens safe by taking measures to prevent armed criminals from ignoring such arbitrary boundaries.
NRA will continue to monitor this proposed ordinance. Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates.

How can NRA get corrupt congressmen indicted when LaPierre & his cronies should/may soon be indicted for misappropriation?
It is time to remove all Anti-Constitutional Communists from the
United States of America, considering we are a Constitutional Republic,
not a Democracy as they would like you to believe, with the rest of their lies…
Go ahead and vote for it, if you enjoy being a victim.
With the mighty nra-ila keeping watch in colorado , im sure virginia has nothing to worry about.
A victim of the Virginia Beach spree killings, only the night before her demise, considered taking her gun to work. There was a friction between two coworkers, that she thought might erupt into a dangerous conclusion. She decided to obey workplace policy. In a recap of the event, a columnist related that the police response and their engagement of the killer, kept the killer distracted, thus saving lives. The columnist failed to realize, that had armed citizens been present, the killer would have been distracted much earlier, saving even more lives. Having grown up in an academic group-think environment, the… Read more »
Similar to the passage of the No Gun Zone law in 1990, which banned guns in certain public places including public schools facilitated mass shootings. This law and others like it “enable and guarantees a successful mass shooting every time” by making everyone in no gun zones and public school system defenseless and easy targets. This law also guaranteed the shooters’ safety by making sure they alone had weapons during the carnage. Please notice that most shootings occur at public schools, this law does not cover private schools which have their own armed security. There have been no mass shootings… Read more »
So don’t look for them to be on the 2A Sanctuary County list?
time to add preemption to state constitution by peoples hand the demoncrats paid for by bloomey need to be over ridden,then booted out their agenda is disarm people crime goes up make more laws to “stop” crime and further restrict rights this is all a transfer of wealth scheme , make up fines for violations would be great if sherrifs in rural counties would deputize everyone in there jurisdiction
It fails constitutional muster. While public buildings with screening and safe-storage onsite are permissible, albeit a PIA, banning otherwise lawful concealed carry in parks and recreation centers are arbitrary and unreasonable. Eventually, the common understanding will get around to realizing that prohibitions of vetted, lawful carriers being armed in schools are ridiculous, and the ‘sensitive places’ nonsense is just that – nonsense. The plain fact is (and there’s no denying it; the SCOTUS will eventually come around to it) is that anywhere that an armed person bent on violence can enter with ease (which is just about everywhere) is a… Read more »
