Ok, I'm a new poster here and I searched to find a topic similar to mine, but to no avail.
Here's my situation:
I am new to VA, having recently been assigned here (US Army). I'm originally from the Peoples Republic of California where I was one of the few lucky ones to get a CCW. I'm working right now on reading up on these VA laws, and I was excited to see that open carry is legal in VA without needing a permit. At least that was my understanding.
Now my question is, since I'm military and not a "standard" VA resident, and since CA is my home of record for the military, (Although I am currently renting in Alexandria) is it legal for me to open carry?
Also, I read that having been through military firearms training exempts you from having to take a class when you apply for a CCW. Is this true of all military personel or just those who have qualified with pistols?
Thanks for any responses in advance.
(Side note) I've been in training for the last 10 months, what the hell happened to PDO?
