Traveling to western part of Virginia this coming spring for vacation. I have a SC CWP which has reciprocity with your state. I understand that Va is open carry friendly, however I also read that west Virginia is too provided you are a resident. NON RESIDENT=NO OC. Is virginia the same? W. Virginia seem strict on vehicle carry as well with no license.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

As long as you are of age (18 or over) and have a legal right to own a firearm, you may open carry in Virginia. And since there is reciprocity between our two states, you are good to go both ways. As for carrying in the car, you can carry open or concealed (again, you have a permit), or you can carry your sidearm in a console or glove box, loaded... much like in South Carolina.
Please enjoy your stay in our state.. I visit yours twice a year.
