Hello all OC'ers,
I'll be travelling to VA soon for my sister's wedding and have some questions on legal carry within VA.
This will be a short fly out, fly back kindof thing. May stay an extra day or two and do some sightseeing in D.C. where I will of course leave my firearm locked in my motel room or rental car according to whatever D.C. law is. Yes, I'm aware of all the TSA guidelines for transporting a firearm and will of course follow them to a T.
A few questions for you all, and I appreciate your time in reading this:
First and foremost, being from out-of-state, can I OC at all?
I only own IWB holsters since I'm forced to CC most of the time in KS. If I wear my gun IWB, but exposed (shirt tucked in, gun clearly visible) am I good to go?
What places are off-limits? Dinner and reception will be at a restaurant called 2941 at 2941 Fairview Park Drive in Falls Church, VA. Seems like a fancy place. Our hotel is a Marriott just down the road, don't have the address on that.
Any other "gotchas" I need to worry about while in VA?
Thanks everyone for your input!
*EDIT*
I should also mention -- after the reception the plan is to go to a bar and drink/play pool/whatever. As I understand it open carry is legal in a bar, presuming of course I do not drink?
