Hello,
I'm about to graduate college and just received a serious job offer in Herndon, VA. I'm currently in Indiana and have my lifetime concealed carry permit. I did some research already, and it seems that Virginia does not honor my Indiana permit.
I will only be in VA for one year before I'm relocated again. I searched and dug up some good information, but still have some questions.
Will I need to apply for an out of state permit since I won't be there long enough to establish residency?
I read in another post that someone would be allowed to open carry without a permit, but I believe they already held a permit from another state that is honored by Virginia. What's the deal with this? Does my Indiana permit count for anything or will I have to take a class and then pay another $100 for a temporary permit?
I won't have time to bother with shooting/safety classes or anything like that, unless I can do them online. I just want to be able to keep my H&K P2000sk loaded with me in the car in case I find myself in a bad neighborhood. IWB carry or open carry would be nice though.
Thanks in advance!
Tony
