AG Affirms Firearm Ban

June 15th, 2012 by JBWK

In a recently issued opinion, Virginia’s Attorney General reaffirmed that private employers may prohibit firearms on company property.

The opinion, which largely discussed the recent statutory amendment allowing people to keep loaded guns in their cars, noted that the law still allows private employers to restrict or prohibit firearms on the employer’s private property.

Employers are therefore free to prohibit firearms not only from buildings or other company property, but also from employees’ cars on company property, despite the fact that it’s legal.
