Virginia Handgun Law

[AlexanderA]

I live in Fairfax County, Virginia. This is an urban/suburban area, right next to Washington, D.C. Open carrying by anyone, other than LE, is inappropriate here, although it's legal. That is, what is legal may not be wise. Those who are open carrying "to make a statement," in my opinion, are making a grave mistake. Public opinion here is at best neutral regarding guns, if not fully antigun. An "in your face" display of weaponry will tend to alienate people, not make us any friends. Especially open carry by someone who is obviously underage.

As a long-time resident of Fairfax County in Northern VA, I pretty much agree with Alexander A. As for the original poster, and like everyone esle has posted: keep it legal son, and be supervised and wait until you're 18...

Don't carry for another 2 years, then OC all you like.
