My son lives in Arlington VA and while I have been there many times over the last 5 years, this will be the first time I will be bringing my handguns with me. Will be in VA April 8 to the about the 15th. I will be on my motorcycle OCing while I drive, as I do in Michigan and in Ohio, so I will be OCing all the way to MD where I will have to put it away for legal transportation.
I have my CPL issued by the state of Michigan which VA accepts
He CC's only, but I OC 99.9 % of the time in my home state of Michigan, i have had no issued OCing here
Ive been reading the VA laws and will continue reading the posts for VA as not to get jammed while I am there.
I don't drink so I don't do the bar scene but may go to a restaurant that serves alcohol for dinner and I understand that is ok
I understand the places that have a no weapons sticker/sign may carry no legal weight, but could get you a trespassing cite if I ignore it, and that any place that ask me to leave I must or face a trespassing cite.
Ive read Handgunlaw.us for VA and continue to review it, in "general" it seems like a lot your laws are similar to what we have here in Michigan.
I guess what I am asking is for pointers in general for OCing in VA.
Most of the time I will be at his home watching my grandson, and taking the little rascal to school and picking him up. I will have to go into the school both times, so my weapon will be placed in the trunk in its case just prior to me going on school property.
Other than that, just the usual bumming around shopping and such, maybe a little site seeing but I been everywhere I want to go but Monticello
Thanks in advance!
