Skid, you're a hoot.
VB is generally one of the more accepting municipalities in Virginia overall, at least in my experience... and I've lived here all my life.
I personally haven't had any problems at the beach/oceanfront. I would anticipate possibly being stopped, but it would generally be a MWAG and they're not out to get you as to make sure you're not up to no good. I have had a handful of VB police encounters and they have been unassuming and casual.
There are some restaurants that are OC-friendly and some that are not. I've been in Rockafeller's and Waterman's with no problem, but Tautog's and Doc Taylor's are no-go. I think Harpoon Larry's is OK and C.P. Shuckers, because I carry in the Shore Drive location frequently and never have a problem.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
