Virginia & Open Carry
I'm going to Virginia in a couple of weeks....up in the mountains. The locals have already told me bring a handgun for rattlers & bears. I'm searching the web looking for permit info, etc. and find this:
http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum54/16338.html
I'm not a big fan of open carry, I'd rather not let everyone know I have it. But in the mountains/woods, it seems feasible....but this guy is in downtown Norfolk!
Thoughts? I can see open carry in the woods / towns...can I do it, even though I'm not a resident?

I open carry when I'm in the woods in NH. I wish I could comment on VA but I can't.

Is that a true story? I heard they're tough and chewy. I'd give it a try though. Originally Posted by derek

Why not call the State Police or their equivalent of our Dept of public safety or better yet the AG office.
