This subject seems pretty well hashed out, and there's little for me to add, except to list some of the areas in which I have openly carried. I used to live in Williamsburg; I carried openly there, without issue. Williamsburg is a fairly lefty place; it's the home of William and Mary, after all. Th...

I'm a CC kinda guy. I CC everyday, everywhere. I have no problem with OC, just prefer to CC. Having said that, I probably see with my own eyes, on average 1-2 people OC per month. Admittedly, I live in a pretty rural part of Rockbridge County. Most of the places I frequent nobody cares. The only ti...

Again, I am not a lawyer and I would confirm with one... but in my personal opinion, that type of scabbard should be okay to carry a rifle while loaded. I feel more than enough is exposed.

I've ONLY had ONE negative comment in all that time and I'm pretty sure that was from ...

Hello! I am new to Virginia. Back out West (places like New Mexico, West Texas, Wyoming etc.) - open carry was normal and nobody felt weird about a guy coming into a gas station with a pistol strapped at their hip. I am fine with that. We moved back to Florida and it was whole different ball game, n...
