Typical VA/WV open carry is a medium to full sized semiauto in a level 1 retention holster, centered on the belt and carried at or just behind the point of the hip. And nobody freaks out about it.
;-)
I haven’t seen #3 in other parts of the country and I have been in rural Missouri for months at a time since open carry was passed.
In the five years since I have lived in the Phoenix Valley as a primary residence (the last two retired) I have seen it probably 15 to 20 times. WalMarts, Woodcraft shops, grocery store parking lots make up the majority of those sightings. I will also ad that while my wife thinks I am oblivious to many things she thinks are important, situational awareness makes me see these when the person is not trying to be too conspicuous — perhaps others might not even observe it.
Of course, out here the Glock is the state flower.
In WV they thank you for carrying.
(Did I mention that I love WV?)
