Apparently you missed the whole stink regarding the AG's opinion (essentially confirmed the point you were "under the impression of"), and the swift reaction by some of those schools to change their prohibition from "policy" to "regulation".
In Virginia, the regulations published in the Administrative Code of Virginia do have the force of law. So your impression is no longer accurate for those schools which have gone through the process.
As Peter Nap mentioned for the church carry. The law has not changed. The AG's opinion might help you if you are arrested, charged and tried, but an opinion won't stop that from happening. It is not particularly uncommon to modify laws to reflect AG opinions, I agree wholeheartedly, this one would be a very good candidate for that. First choice, just eliminate that particular section altogether. Second choice clarify that self defense is a good and sufficient reason.

Maybe it should be brought up on lobby day that since the SCOTUS fabricated the "separation of church and state" clause of the US Constitution and the libs are always running around screaming about separation of church and state, the church carry law should be repealed entirely since the state has no business in telling the church who can do what in a church. Let the congregation decide.
