Assuming a valid VA chp
I know that there are two schools of thought on lawful carrying of a handgun, and VA allows both open and concealed carry, and we Virginians do have a choice.
I would be interested in knowing why some prefer open carry over concealed. (Presuming we are all carrying for the same reasons -protection and self defense.)
Please understand that there is no hidden agenda here, just curiousity.
I am aware that VCDL encourages open carry.
As for myself, I do not open carry. I prefer not having anyone know I have a gun on my person. The fewer people who know I carry, the better I like it. I also try very hard to be non confrontational. My gun is for dealing with a threat...not for conversation with strangers.

Concealed Carry vs Open Carry

another topic on here has this similar discussion on it. I choose to open carry for several reason.
1. To educate LEO's about the law of virginia. believe it or not many don't know its legal to open carry.
2. A right unexersized is a right lost
3. Some say it gives a "Halo" effect. That because you have your gun in sight those near you feel safer from danger.
4. I would hope that my practice of open carry would desensitize all the liberal fuckers who think all guns are bad. And when they see a 22 year old white boy of my size and dress walk past them and everything on earth still continues as normal that guns arn't bad...bad guys with guns are bad.
