Yep! But they won’t know I am carrying. In my state only courthouses and bars are no carry areas. The freaking VA is not a courthouse or bar.
If you get caught it will be very bad. My concealed carry trainer is ex-military and worked for the VA. He quit because of all the terrible protocols.
You cannot have you weapon on the property, including the parking lot. Even if you have, for example, a Leatherman tool, it will be taken and a ticket issued.
I’m not saying it’s right, I’m simply notifying you of the federal law. This supersedes your state’s law.
