I am Virginia once or twice a year and usually carry concelaed most of the time. Since it has been unusually hot the last few days, I made a conscious decision to open carry all the time. I am staying at the Sheraton in Tysons Corner and other than getting a few weird looks from people from who knows where, no issues at all. I have been to the local Starbucks, Panera, Borders, and a few other businesses, all while open carrying.
Tonight I went down to Richmond to have dinner with a friend and his wife. We ate at the Tabacco Company Restaurant, an upscale establishment in the old cobblestone section of downtown Richmond. No issues in the two hours we spend at the restaurant, and there were lots of people all around us. On the way back to my car parked a block away, I walked right by a Richmond cop sitting at a stop light. I waved and he waved back.
I have three more days here. If anything new takes place, I will write an update. In my home state of Michigan, while legal, open carry is rare, and I only open carry occasionally in very rural places.
