Kaine says he’ll sign smoking curbs into law, veto concealed guns in bars

February 27, 2009 | Virginia News

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine yesterday did little to cheer people who want to smoke in restaurants, people who want to take concealed weapons into bars, or payday lenders.

Kaine said he would veto legislation passed by the General Assembly that would allow holders of concealed-weapons permits to bring their hidden guns into establishments that serve alcohol.

"I'm very nervous about the public-safety impact of that bill," he said.
