ETA this first: "In 2002, Governor Warner supported permitting concealed handguns in public parks and buildings. In 2003, a bill to permit concealed handguns in bars passed the House of Delegates and was only stopped in the Senate by a tie vote in committee." This is from a google search, but the page had an honest face, so it appears that Virginia doesn't allow guns in bars (unless it allows unpermitted openly-carried guns in bars). I take it back.
FWIW, every place in Texas that sells alcohol has to have a nice big "no guns" signs prominently displayed. Freaks foreigners out the first time they walk into a 7-11 or bar.

Hospitals and nursing homes also have to have the signs, and I've seen them on the local University of Texas buildings, so I'm guessing that we, not exactly known for gun-control, think that it's ok to prohibit firearms in some locations.
