Correct.
Last I saw, VA was approaching nearly 300,000 CCW holders, including me.
My Sig P226 or my Kimber always rides along with me :-)
As long as your pistola is not concealed you can carry it just like you might a long gun ~ no permit needed. Some people don’t understand but the cops around here do. There’s not a day goes buy I don’t see a holster on a civilian.
