2 open carry questions.(no "open carry" ordinances & stopped by police for OC)
Hey guys, I'm in virginia, i need some advice/answers. My first question is about town ordinances. Are towns allowed to impose "no open carry" ordinances? I've heard this before but I've also heard that towns cannot trump state laws
My second question is about getting stopped by the police soley for open carrying. From what I've gathered the best thing I can do is this, ask if I am being detained, if I am then I should ask why, and if the reason has anything to do with carrying a gun then I should state that I am invoking my right to remain silent and not say a word regardless of what they tell me.
Also, what if they do not give me a straight answer about detainment? Such as telling me "maybe" or "we'll see", am I allowed to walk away if I get an answer like that?
I'd appreciate any answers, I'm really trying to get my facts down before I open carry every day.
Thanks, jack.
