What states can minors oc in?

I was wondering what states let 14 or 16 years old to Open Carry.

Alaska and Montana - 14
Vermont - 16
Maine, Missouri, Hew Hampshire, Wyoming - no minimum age restriction

Here's the link to the "Age to OC" map: http://www.opencarry.org/age.html

In Virginia a newborn infant can legally OC, as long as an adult is with them. I'm not sure how the issue of possession would be looked at with a minor over the age of 12 who was OCing without adult supervision.

stay safe.
