Virginia, it is legal to carry guns openly in most public places; in private establishments, its up to the owner. Federal buildings, schools, secure areas of an airport and correctional facilities are some places where guns are prohibited.

Virginia law also prohibits concealed weapons where alcohol is served, so gun owners who want to carry their guns must do so openly at places like Giovanni's.

Legally, if someone wanted to order a beer while “open carrying,” they could do so, said Cascades resident Ed Levine, his gun on his hip. He added that it would be irresponsible to do so.

None of those with guns at Giovanni s chose to drink alcohol during their meal.

A recent law passed by the Virginia General Assembly would have allowed restaurants and clubs to decide whether or not concealed-carry permit holders may conceal firearms in their establishments for self-defense, but Gov. Tim Kaine (D> vetoed that bill, saying that guns and alcohol should not mix.
