The key bit is, "nor shall it prohibit possession and transport of loaded concealed handguns where the individual possesses a concealed handgun permit as defined in § 18.2-308 of the Code of Virginia."
I.E. If you don't want to worry about hunting seasons and you have a CHP, you may carry but your firearm must be concealed. Carrying a concealed handgun in the woods while hiking over mountains sucks. Doubly so in even slightly humid weather. I've done quite a bit of it in a variety of configurations.
The national parks like SNP do not require CC but the forests are nicer IMO.
I do not have a CHP so concealed is out. So it seems I can only oc during hunting season, or can I oc anytime since I am not hunting? Peter Nap seemed to indicate these regs only apply to one when hunting,but I think he was referring to state forests not national, but I am not so sure. Can someone please point me to something that clarifies this?
I like the forests too, especially when camping as I can make a fire. Some amazing spots like the Big Schloss, camped at the top of that, it was amazing.
