RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is outlawing the open carry of guns in some state-owned building and pushing for tighter gun control measures.

McAuliffe signed an executive order Thursday at the Capitol setting up a task force aimed at more robust prosecution of gun crimes. The order also establishes a statewide tip line to report gun crimes, and orders state police to request a trace of every gun involved in a crime in Virginia.
