Re: Open Carry in NOVA.
26 yrs young & I have been OC'ing since I moved out here back in 2009. I Recently took the online course for my CHP Just have to go down to the Court House to finalize it.
So far I have not been asked to leave any place I have entered with any of my side arms (not that I go out much but resturants & retail stores thus far don't seem to mind.) Also the banks that I go to and the DMV don't seem to have an issue with it either

I invite everyone to come to the range with me. It's as simple as letting me know what day you want to meet up.

Re: Open Carry in NOVA.
Any range will do really. I think its more about taking your time controlling your breathing and focusing on your trigger pull than anything else. This can be done at any range. Where in nova are you?
