Will this ruling affect property in Virginia?
Ruling by the United States District Court for the District of Idaho stops Army Corps of Engineers from enforcing no guns policy on Corps controlled lands.

The ruling is written in clear language. It references the Georgia case, where the judge has refused to grant an injunction. The Georgia judge cited the Nordyke case from the Ninth Circuit, but ignored the Peruta decision, also from the Ninth Circuit. Judge Winmill writes that he falls under the Ninth Circuit, and must follow Peruta.

The Court must ask first whether the Corps’ regulation burdens conduct protected by the Second Amendment. It does. The Second Amendment protects the right to carry a firearm for self-defense purposes. Heller, 554 U.S. at 628 (stating that “the inherent right of self-defense has been central to the Second Amendment right”). That right extends outside the home. Peruta, 742 F.3d at 1166 (holding that “the right to bear arms includes the right to carry an operable firearm outside the home for the lawful purpose of self-defense”).
