Carrying without a Permit/License
Date updated: Aug 12, 2005 @ 10:03 pm
In Virginia, one may carry a handgun in the open with no license. Loaded handguns on the seat or dashboard in plain view while in a vehicle are fine. Carrying concealed in places that serve alcohol is prohibited, even licensed, but open carry there is allowed.

Non-Resident Police Officer Carry
Virginia allows on and off duty police officers from all other states to carry concealed weapons, not just handguns, in Virginia. Concealed carry in restaurants or clubs that serve alcohol is allowed for police officers.
