open carry holster

[ExiledBrownCoat]

Hi all
I live in Norfolk VA and I'm looking into open carrying my C&B pistol (the 1858 Remington is scary enough for where I live) I do have a few questions #1. can i keep the weapon loaded with/without caps? and #2 I have a leather holster (picture posted on the bottom) will this holster fit the laws of the state?
Thank you in advanced
Matt.

I don't see why not, that holster would be perfectly fine. To answer your second question, I believe that you CAN carry it with caps, as long as you have the safety notches for the hammer to prevent accidental discharging. I am not a lawyer, however.

There is no such requirement in Virginia law.

What about with balls and powder in it as well?

 

[W.E.G.]

Are you simply asking whether you can legally open-carry a fully-loaded black-powder revolver?

The answer is yes.

Yes, you can carry that type of gun anywhere in Virginia where you can legally carry any other type of gun.

As for the holster...looks good to me.

#1. can i keep the weapon loaded with/without caps?
Allow me to educate you: 'C&B pistols' are not concidered loaded if caps are not installed.

That's true, I didn't even pick up on that . It is kinda difficult to keep a C&B loaded with no caps!

#1 was ment more as a two part question as in can I have it loaded with caps, or do they need to be off. I don't really like the idea of having to keep them off those little things get everywhere when I try to load at the range needless to say in a combat situation.
