There's good news and bad news on repealing vetoes by Tim "No Guns" Kaine. It's sad how the governor claimed high and low to be pro-gun when he was running for office, but now that he's got the job he's gone completely against his word.

Anyway, the restaurant carry veto - SB1035 - missed being overturned by just three votes. The law would have allowed concealed handgun permit (CHP) holders to carry concealed in restaurants with that serve alcohol, so long as they themselves don't consume alcohol while on the premises. Strangely, it's perfectly legal to openly carry a handgun in restaurants that serve alcohol, even without a CHP. I'm disappointed because it's an inconvenience; I'm not comfortable openly carrying a handgun.

Two other vetoes were overturned, regarding retired police officers and computer based training for CHP classes.
