Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends § 18.2-283.2 to expand exceptions to the carry ban in state buildings by adding rest areas, allowing more carry there (expands firearms/carry). It simultaneously removes the prior exception for state parks by deleting the connecting 'or', thereby subjecting state parks to the prohibition and restricting carry there (restricts firearms/carry). Both changes are in the same subsection and directly affect the carry axis with no other topics addressed.
