Adds highway rest areas to the list of exceptions where the prohibition on carrying firearms into Commonwealth-owned or leased buildings does not apply, so more ability to carry firearms in those locations.
The provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) of subsection B shall not apply to ... (i) any highway rest area as defined in § 33.2-1200.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends an existing statute that prohibits carrying firearms into Commonwealth-owned or leased buildings (and certain other areas), maintaining that core restriction while expanding the list of exceptions to include highway rest areas and certain retired officers or employees. This produces both an expansion (via new exceptions allowing carry in more places) and a restriction (via the ongoing prohibition in covered buildings), so both directions are tagged under firearms/carry. No other topics are substantively addressed.
