I just registered on this forum and I've spent some time clicking around, but I would really like one single thread to teach me what I want to learn.
My Info/Background:
I am a 22 year old Marine Corps Reservist from Hampton Roads, about to come home from Afghanistan. I have no genuine experience or knowledge of VA's gun laws and permit shenanigans.
What I want to learn is:
1. What do I need to do when I get home so I can OC a sidearm in public (Is there a permit I need or can I carry as soon as I buy a pistol?)
2. What do I need to do for concealed carry permit (Is Military experience a substitute for a safety class?)
3. Can I just walk into a store and buy a sidearm? (Waiting periods?)
4. Good places to purchase and shoot a pistol in Hampton Roads area?
Appreciate your help and patience.
