Something's come up, and I have to drive from Georgia to Fairfax, Virginia tomorrow.
I know my Georgia Firearms License is honored in Tennessee, but not in Virginia (I won't be passing through the Carolinas). I just need clarification on a couple of finer points of law.
What concerns me is carry in the car. In Tennessee, where I'm essentially licensed, are there any restrictions against simply having it on my hip in the car?
Virginia code is a bit unclear. Obviously, I'll have to take the gun off. Is it legal if it's in a snapped holster, in a zipped range bag in the rear of the vehicle? If not, how "ready" can it be without getting illegal?
Not to offend anyone from those states: I don't think you're a dangerous bunch, I just like to be prudent when entering unfamiliar territory.
