Conceal Carrying at Arlington Cemetery - 10/31/14 09:39 AM

After the unfortunate recent incedents in Canada and NY, I know that security has been beefed up At Arlington National Cemetery. Is there any federal law prohibiting a conceal carry permit holder from carrying at the Arlington National Cemetery?

National Cemeteries that come under Dept of Veterans Affairs.

the following rules and regulations apply at all property under the charge and control of VA
