Moderators, this is my first post, so please move this if this is in the wrong place.
Hello everyone, I'm 16, and I've been wanting to open carry a handgun, and I believe that I can, unloaded, with one loophole in the law.
P.S. I don't want any drama about being too young to carry, please keep that out of my thread.

Technically, couldn't I tell a LEO that I'm heading to a hunting ground every time I carry? This section of the law does not require me to be with an adult, I think. I'm not exactly a law buff, so if someone else could tell me whether or not I could use this provision to my advantage please tell me. Thank you guys!§ 18.2-308.7. Possession or transportation of certain firearms by persons under the age of 18; penalty.
