I wanted to get someone to confirm what I have been told
regarding Virginia gun laws. I was informed that anyone can
"openly" carry a pistol on your waist - just as long as it
is not concealed. Is this true?
1. Can you carry your gun into restaurants and stores?
2. Will the police stop and harass you if they see this?
3. Do many people carry "open" guns on their waist?
4. If you are driving and get pulled over for a traffic
stop, do you tell the officer "I'm armed?" ... and do they
make you get out and get on your knees?
Also, can non-residents carry openly when traveling through
the state of Virginia? Any information would be appreciated.
I wonder if this practice has cut down on crime, overall?
Thanks.
