All,
I do a lot of fishing and cannot locate any information specific to the legality of open carrying while fishing in my kayak on the James River and Smith Mountain Lake. Does anyone have any information?
There is a letter that allows for carry in the state parks (SML), or more correctly states that the rules shall not be enforced written by the governor. I will need to find that copy before I can say anymore. I don't know all of the James River areas to comment. A search or this site should pull up the letter, it was forwarded and posted here by Peter Nap I believe.
Did they ever repeal the VAC?

It appears it is still in place. The Governor "directed" that it be repealed through an "exempt Administrative Process", which I can only conclude must be some sort of a faster, streamlined process.Not that I'm aware of and that brings up some question of what will happen when McDonnell goes away. I'm betting Cuccinelli will be our next Governor and he'll force the issue but needs to be reminded.

It's been over a year, sounds like someone needs to ask some questions of the director of the Department of Conservation and Recreation!
