I live in Virginia and just got a new job as an independent contractor for VDOT. I work on their property in their building though. My question is whether or not it is legal to carry on or in state property? The building has controlled entry and exit points, but I'd rather not leave my revolver in the car all day. Also, the position I accepted has me being the middle man between my boss and the very unsavory people that work for the same company I do (i.e. who comes in late, who's doing what... yeah I'm a stoolie, but it's paying the bills); another reason to retain possession of my gun throughout the day (a decent little hike from the building I might add).
I'm not looking for moral or ethical answers here, just the legal side. If you're going to spout off your opinion about how I shouldn't accept a job that brings up such concerns, or how I should sneak it through anyway, always armed always vigilant mumbo jumbo. I just want to know if there are any legal ramifications from carrying a CCW on virginia state property.
Thanks.
