Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Defender utility
Virginia defenders: this is the Senate chapter of the same public-carry assault-firearm statute as HB 1524 (id 10). Demand proof (1) the arm meets the statutory assault-firearm definition, (2) carry was in a covered public place, (3) no exception. Portable for CA/multi-state AWB and sensitive-place briefing. bank_signal queued; do not double-count as a separate charge from HB 1524.
Who this is for. VA PDs on public-carry assault-firearm calendars (same statute as HB 1524) — not a California charge.
