If I'm reading this bill-tracking link correctly, it appears that the Governor has signed SB 334 into law, and that as of July 1st of this year, CHL holders in Virginia will be able to carry concealed in restaurants that serve alcohol (but will not be allowed to consume alcohol while carrying.)
There was a bunch of news coverage and blog/forum posting when the bill passed the Virginia House and Senate, but other than this bill-tracking site, I haven't heard a peep about it since the Governor signed the bill.

If the ban has in fact been repealed, this is great news - we've been trying to get this done for years! Prior to this, we had to either leave our guns behind or switch to open-carry before entering a restaurant.
