Who's advocating breaking a law?
If you can't imagine a situation where the need to carry surpasses the obligation to stay within the law, then you're out of touch.
It's hard to have a conversation about real topics with people who aren't willing to be real.
If you weren't then I apologize.
There are 3 options:
a) Campus carry becomes legal in VA before my daughter turns 18. I personally think this will happen soon in VA.
b) It is a large enough concern that my daughter goes to a state where campus carry is legal.
c) It is illegal and despite my personal feelings on the law I don't advocate my daughter to break the law.
If Campus Carry becomes legal in VA I have no doubt the wording of the "intent to do harm in school" will be clarified to provide an exception for lawful use (i.e defense of self or others).
We do have the VCDL fighting for gun rights in VA. You might want to check them out. They are likely one of the best organized grass roots organizations in the country. Their model has been emulated by a lot of other states.

Once VA adopted "no local pre-emption" (all gun laws must be passed ONLY at state level). They worked to remove illegal gun laws from cities and counties. They also worked to educate sheriffs, city councils, and LEO on changes to carry laws. They also have a newsletter and email alerts. If EXILE was the horrible anti-gun law you make it out to be I am sure the VCDL would be all over it.
We may never agree on this issue but the reality is that citizens (both pro and anti gun) want lower crime. Crime was out of control in Richmond. Many communities in that situation (including CA) choose to adopt harsh "gun control laws" in the form of bans, registrations, limits, licensing, magazine caps,that we both know don't work.
Richmond can't adopt local gun control so it is the entire state or nothing. Since gun control is political suicide in VA (large % of even Democrats are pro-gun) they decided to enforce existing criminal laws.
They dropped murder rate 40% with NO NEW LAWS, no bans, no restrictions on lawful gun owners. We have no license in VA, no registration, no restrictions on EBR or high cap magazines, no waiting period on guns. Open carry is 100% legal across the state. Conceal carry is shall issue. Brady campaign is giving VA a failing grade of 17%.
Low crime and no restrictions on gun rights. Sounds like a winner to me.
