Hello everyone,
I'm going camping with my girlfriend in the near future and would like to have my handgun readily available to me while in the tent. Am I legally allowed to do this while in my tent? Some states consider your tent to be your "temporary home" but I was unable to find any information on this for the state of Virginia.
If I decide to have my firearm with me while in the tent does it have to be in open sight while in the tent or could I keep it in a bag next to me in the tent?
***I do NOT have a carry permit as of now but am in the process of applying for one in my home state***
Thank you very much for your help!
