Brad, Welcome to OCDO! If you have not already done so, please sign up for VCDL email alerts on the VCDL webpage.

To address your questions:
1: Virginia allows OC
2: Getting a CHP is not hard, just have to take an approved class and submit the appropriate paperwork.

This will answer the basic questions of VA's laws, but nothing is all inclusive.

Hi Brad. Welcome to OCDO and as Esanders said check out VCDL.org. If nothing else sign up for free alerts. I live in Accomack County and while you dont see a lot of open carry on the Eastern Shore it is perfectly legal. Not sure how Northampton County is but Accomack is fairly good for CHP.

Send me a PM and I'd be glad to talk to you if you'd like.

2. Completing any National Rifle Association firearms safety or training course;

4. Completing any law-enforcement firearms safety or training course or class offered for security guards, investigators, special deputies, or any division or subdivision of law enforcement or security enforcement;

5. Presenting evidence of equivalent experience with a firearm through participation in organized shooting competition or current military service or proof of an honorable discharge from any branch of the armed services;

6. Obtaining or previously having held a license to carry a firearm in the Commonwealth or a locality thereof, unless such license has been revoked for cause;

7. Completing any firearms training or safety course or class, including an electronic, video, or on-line course, conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association-certified firearms instructor;

8. Completing any governmental police agency firearms training course and qualifying to carry a firearm in the course of normal police duties; or

No permit is required to OC in Virginia.
