mag w/ capacity under 20rds in the gun while carrying

as long as it doesn't have a threaded barrel or other suppressor attachment point, folding stock, or shotgun w/ more than 7 shot capacity.
The statue states a capacity exceeding 20 in the magazine.

The statue says nothing about threaded barrel, it states designed by manufacturer to except a silencer (which is incorrect they are suppressors).

The statue on the 7 shot capacity limit on shotguns clearly states with the longest ammo designed to be chambered.
thanks for specifying the specifics :)

I'm still waiting to see the "statue" that says all this. Is she like Lady Justice, holding a scale and a sword? Or is she like Venus de Milo, missing some parts, like, say, a "T"? :)

There are a lot of members on this website who nitpick one heck of a lot about every little thing that someone advances.

And thank God they do because this is how we spread information for all to consume. So keep on nitpicking.. it serves us all.

Pursuant to §18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia, resident concealed handgun permits are issued by the circuit court of the jurisdiction in which the applicant resides, and nonresident concealed handgun permits are issued by the Virginia State Police.
