According to VA code,
"B. If any person knowingly possesses any firearm... while such person is upon... (iii) any school bus owned or operated by any such school, he shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony"...
... I thought that having a gun on a school bus in VA was an absolute no-no; but it appears to me now that all of the exceptions in that section apply to the entire section ("The provisions of this section shall not apply to..."), including on a bus?
That would mean that,
"(vi) a person who possesses an unloaded firearm that is in a closed container... in or upon a motor vehicle, or an unloaded shotgun or rifle in a firearms rack in or upon a motor vehicle"
...would be all right on the bus too?
