POSSESSION OF HANDGUNS BY MEMBERS AT NATIONAL GUARD FACILITIES (§ 44-39.1)

To the extent permitted by federal law and by the terms of any contract between
the Virginia National Guard and a privately owned facility, any member of the
Virginia National Guard who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit issued
pursuant to Article 6.1 (§ 18.2-307.1 et seq.) of Chapter 7 of Title 18.2 shall
be permitted to possess a concealed handgun owned by such member at all
facilities of the Virginia National Guard and at all privately owned facilities
under contract with the Virginia National Guard. Nothing herein precludes the
commanding officer of any member from prohibiting such member from possessing a
concealed handgun while such member is participating in any training or other
exercises where the commanding officer determines that (i) such possession would
interfere with the conduct of such training or other exercises, (ii) such
possession may result in mission impairment, or (iii) the member is unfit to
carry a handgun.
