Another reason

This is another reason why Virginia is a completely foreign land to me, even though I was born in DC and grew up (mostly) in Maryland.

So, the government can ban smoking in public buildings but not restrict the carrying of loaded, concealed weapons? What's wrong with this picture?

(and before anyone screams "Second Amendment", let me forestall the argument by adding that I am not saying "guns, bad" and that they should be banned but rather that it is not unreasonable to place a restriction on the carrying of loaded weapons into a place with as much security -- and as many tourists -- as the Virginia State Capitol building...)
