I live in NC and need to know if I can open carry my gun into VA. I won't have it on me all the time I just want to carry it up to Bobs Guns and use the range there. Thanks Wayne.

Open carry in Virginia is legal provided you are not carrying the firearm in your hands.

VA Gun Info - Open Carry

And when you want to further check for reciprocity between different states,
check out handgunlaw.us. They have lots of info on that.

Hey hfd315, I currently live, and am stationed in the Norfolk, VA area. Here is some more helpful information for you. You are allowed to open carry in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to CC in the Commonwealth, you must have obtained your CHP from the State of North Carolina. If you get caught carrying a concealed weapon in the Commonwealth without a proper permit, you will be arrested and charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor under VA Code 18.2-308. You could face up to a year in jail if convicted.

Hey MM1,

What was Kingsbay like back in the 80s? I hated that place when I went TDY over there in 2008.

VA has a reciprocity agreement with NC. You can conceal here as well if you have a permit. Open carry is always an option as well.
