County supervisors are moving toward a vote on new regulations that would prohibit bringing guns into county government buildings and parks.
The proposed rules would allow concealed carry permit holders to bring guns into county parks, as well as creating exceptions such as for private security workers at county-run or county-permitted events, active duty military personnel carrying out their duties, and reenactments.
Supervisors may also decide to outfit the three main government office buildings—the County Government Center and the Shenandoah Building in Leesburg and the Sterling Service Center at Ridgetop Circle—with screening stations such as magnetometers. That is estimated to cost $50,000 per building, plus $555,000 per year going forward for all three.
