Hi folks! If this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it. I've been lurking around here reading everything I can about OC and CC since I bought my first handgun last month (a Rock Island 1911 Tactical). It seems like this is a great community, and I feel like I'm much better informed now about my rights in Virginia.
I'm posting this because I'm heading to Richmond tomorrow afternoon for a concert downtown with a small group of friends. The concert isn't getting out until probably after midnight, and I'm wondering if I should consider OC for the trip. The venue that the concert is being held at doesn't allow firearms though, so I would have to secure my 1911 in the trunk of my car until after the concert. I'm not sure if carrying tomorrow is the best idea, especially considering that it would be my first OC. I was just hoping to get some opinions and maybe some information that I should know if I OC for the road trip to Richmond.
On a related note, is the holster that I bought legal for OC? It's a pretty basic model but it works well enough (although you definitely can't miss me carrying the 1911 as I'm 5'11 and only about 140 lbs. - it feels like I have a brick attached to my belt!):
