VERY TRUE (Over my military career, I was stationed in VA for about 14-15 years.)
OPEN CARRY has ALWAYS been lawful, unless a local ordinance prohibited it.
(There’s a “taco joint” in Fairfax County where on Saturdays that it’s TRADITIONAL to “open carry”. = When I first was stationed at Ft Lee, a VA state trooper invited me to lunch there one Saturday & told me to be SURE to wear a GOOD pistol & in an attractive holster/gun-belt.= I walked in & thought that I was attending a gun-show.)
Note: I wore my best (circa 1970s) Colt’s Gold Cup .45ACP in an El Paso Saddlery holster/belt to lunch.
