Media Bias?

Not conceald carry, no. It's hidden weapons!

Hidden weapon bill clears panel

Yes, Virginia, there is PSH:

RICHMOND - A bill to allow people with a concealed weapons permit to bring a hidden handgun into a restaurant if they do not drink won approval of a House of Delegates committee Monday.
Man, I'm scared already. I better check my drawers.
Welcome to the wild, wild West,” said Del. James M. Scott, D-Merrifield, after he was one of five delegates on the Militia and Police Committee to oppose the bill unsuccessfully. The panel approved it on a 16-5 vote.
Just as wild as all those other states that descended into chaos after passing similar bills! New underwear, please!
“We’ve bested Texas. We’ve bested Alaska,” in terms of loosening the restrictions on guns in restaurants that serve alcohol, Scott said of the so-called “guns in bars” bill that is similar to measures that had passed the House in previous years only to die in the Virginia Senate.
Stereotype much? I can tell which part of Virginia you're from.

Here's the interesting part:
Under current state law, a gun owner can carry a weapon into a restaurant serving alcohol if the handgun is not concealed and can drink until the restaurant cuts him off. Any restaurant owner has a right to post a sign saying no one may enter with a gun, and the bill does not change that right
How cool is that?

(all emphasis mine)

Very cool.
