I will be driving through Virginia in a couple of days and just want to make certain that I know the laws. I have searched through the threads and just want to make sure.
I have a valid Kentucky concealed carry license, do not have any felony charges/convictions and I never drink alcohol.
Virginia has complete preemption of all firearm laws, so all laws are uniform across the state.
I can carry openly with or without a permit or concealed because I have a permit that Virginia recognizes.
I can carry into a place that serves alcohol with my firearm, most likely concealed.
Signs do have the weight of law.
Since I have a permit I can store my weapon any way I like in my vehicle.
I do not have to inform an officer that I am carrying, but if I am asked then I must provide my license only if I am carrying concealed.
I can legally record an officer with or without is consent or knowledge.
This is how I interpreted the limited information I read about your fine state. If I am wrong, I would greatly appreciate a correction. I would also appreciate any other information that I may need to know such as any other right I have in a police encounter.
Thanks in advance for any help.
