The wife and I don't get down to Roanoke as often as we used to now that we have one young'n and another on the way, but when we go I have no issues openly carrying provided I stay out of places that are clearly marked (like anywhere). There are a handful of Roanokers here on the board, but given that there is little discussion of issues, my conclusion is that it's not at all problematic there. At some point in the near future I need to set up an OC lunch here in the Lynchburg area, but things are terribly busy right now as we prep for child #2 and some other life changes. Hopefully I'll get something together mid-fall.
