Definition of violent felony; penalty. Removes an "and" in the list of violent felonies to make it clear that a person does not need to be convicted of both §18.2-308.1 (possession of weapon on school property) and §18.2-308.2 (possession of firearm by a felon) in order to have the offense qualify as a violent felony for the purpose of the sentencing guidelines. The bill also provides that using a firearm in a threatening manner in a school is the only felony in §18.2-308.1 that qualifies as a violent felony.

Violent felony; possession of firearm on school property prohibited, penalty.
