I just returned 3 weeks ago from 13 months in Iraq. Since then I have criss crossed the state visiting my kids at colleges in Newport News and Radford VA as well as traveling out to Front Royal, through the valley and all over NOVA. I have carried every where. Mostly open carry and occasionally concealed. Not once have I had anyone say anything negative. No points and stares, no accusing questions, absolutely NO issues. Before I left 13 months ago to go to Iraq, I would have someone say something just about every time I open carried, but since returning nothing. I have received a few positive comments and had a few very nice conversations on the topic, but no issues.
I don't know if others have noticed a trend toward more acceptance of open carry, but I sure have and I am very pleased. I hope this trend continues and that I will see more people like me walking the streets of VA with their favorite side arm.
