In VA:
It’s legal to wear a gun on your hip in Waterside, a judge decided Tuesday.
After hearing more than two hours of testimony, a General District Court judge dismissed a trespassing charge against Dan Moore, a Hampton resident who police said was ordered to leave Waterside for carrying a weapon, and refused to leave.
State laws permit openly carrying firearms in public places. City officials contended that Waterside, though built in part with public funds, is owned by a private entity and thus is a private facility not subject to state laws.

I love the “a judge decided” part. WTF?
How about “natural right” or 2nd Amendment upheld…
It’s like their on the other side or something.

“Not subject to state laws…”
Does that mean if someone robs a privately-built & owned 7-11, they are “not subject to state (robbery) laws?”

“not subject to state laws.”
Yeah, I’m sure that would be the case if they had decided not to allow blacks to enter the building…
