Welcome to the site EC. I'm going to assume (That word again) you don't eat Billygoats and just misunderstood...Just wanted an Answer is all. thanks y'all. Now what is a good way to carry in the vehicle? I know with no CCL i must have it unloaded but I can I put her in her case then load it after I get out of the car? or does it have to be in a different compartment than the ammo? VR Easy

Is this what you read? http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-287.4
If so, many are confused by this section, but it only applies to firearms that fall under the highlighted section. This does not apply to the vast majority of handguns, and it does not apply at all if you have a valid Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP).
iam going to open carry sometimes but waiting on my CHP before i do. would like the extra insurance. just in case.

Oh..in Va it's not a CCL, it's a CHP. CHP stands for Commonwealth Handgun Perks.:banghead:
Another one in my state:banghead:
Why don't you get one of these too. Then you can dress up as a kindakop when you're not pretending to be an OC'er.
How does having a CHP provide you with extra insurance?
In case some federal agent tries to charge him in VA with a violation of the Gun-Free School Zones Act.
