I know that this isn't really the place to be asking this, but I hoped you nice people could help me out.
I am interested in getting a gun. I wanted to know everything that I have to go through in order to legally carry it around. I live in Virginia obviously, but in Arlington County, way up north, not really Virgina compared to the rest of the state.
To be clear:
What is the minimum age?
and what permits do I need to own and carry a gun?
I am also confused on what "preempted" means. Specifically "Virginia is one of our "Gold Star" open carry states. There is complete state preemption of all firearms laws, open carry is increasingly common and law enforcement is well educated as to its legality." What the hell does that mean?
Hope to hear from you
