On Tuesday, February 9, the House Militia, Police and Public Safety Committee passed HB505, by a vote of 16 to 6. House Bill 505 would allow a concealed carry permit holder to carry his or her firearm into a restaurant, provided he or she does not consume any alcohol. This bill is similar to last yearâ??s bill that was passed by both the House and Senate Chambers and ultimately vetoed by Governor Tim Kaine (D).
