UPDATE: Virginia Repeal of Weapons Ban in Places of Worship Passed Senate

SB 1024, which would repeal Virginia’s ban on carrying “a gun, pistol, bowie knife, dagger, or other dangerous weapon” to a “place of worship while a meeting for religious purposes is being held,” passed the Virginia Senate by a vote of 21-19. It now moves to the House.

If enacted, this bill would clearly allow carry of any Virginia legal knife in a place of worship.
