HERNDON, VA At its Tuesday night work session, Herndon Town Council will be discussing a proposed ordinance to prohibit the possession and carrying of firearms on all town properties and at town-sponsored events.
In 2020, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation enabling localities to adopt ordinances to prohibit the possession of firearms in certain cases. The law went into effect on July 1, 2020.
Since them, a number of Northern Virginia jurisdictions have passed ordinances limiting the possession of firearms on public property, including Arlington County, the City of Falls Church, the City of Fairfax, and Fairfax County.
