If Virginia has an age limit, that applies in Virginia even if you get a Texas or Alabama license.

So where did you take your class? And, I have never heard of anyone wanting profile photos. Who asked for those?

And as stated, you will not be able to carry in VA until you're 21.

DPS used to want profile shots for under 21 CHLs, but they got over that a few years ago. Now, they use the regular full face photos.

The instructor was probably just playing it safe by taking both.

Even for active duty military?

He should be legal to carry openly in Virginia.

Yep, 18 for open carry.

Any one open carry i feel like it might cause some problems in some places? Or is there a lot of people that OC? Im new to the world of CC and love it. But never OC before.

...you are aware of not carrying on Federal bases, etc. with or without a state permit, I'm sure...

Yes i am. Very aware. Been studying all the laws for texas and VA lot. And trying to find some info on the gray sports. Thanks.

What do you mean?

...reasonable that we can't carry with CHL into the hospital...but they also lock you up if they catch you with one in your car...a retired officer drove into the lot...disarmed and put his CHL weapon into the trunk, and they came out and locked him up and took his weapon...charged him with a felony...a lot of the VA hospitals are in bad parts of town...if you have to drive a long ways to get there, you're effectively disarmed from home to there and back...our troops deserve some consideration...
