Hello, I'm new at this, just picked up my first hand gun. I've shot many many times before at the range (borrowing from friends) but now I'm an owner. I know VA allows open carry in a vehicle, but how exactly does that work? Forgive me if this is a silly question. I can't sit in the seat with the gun and holster attached to my belt. They'll have to come off and go in the door pocket or something. What's the etiquette here if I'm planning to drive somewhere (to a store lets say) and open carry once I arrive. Must I have the gun holstered and on my belt before I get out of the car? Do I do it as I'm getting out of the car? How do I do this without breaking the "brandishing" law. Thanks for taking the time to reply to a newbie!!
