Is open carry of handguns legal in Virginia without a Concealed Handgun Permit?

Yes, without any restrictions
No, it is not permitted
Yes, but only in certain areas
Yes, but local laws can impose restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, but local laws can impose restrictions

In Virginia, open carry of handguns is legal without a Concealed Handgun Permit. The correct answer is D because even though open carry is allowed in the state, local laws and ordinances can impose restrictions on where and when individuals can openly carry firearms. This means that while open carry is generally permitted, it's important to be aware of and comply with any local laws that might place limitations on the practice. Option A is incorrect because although open carry is legal, there are still regulations and restrictions that individuals need to adhere to. Option B is incorrect as open carry is in fact permitted in Virginia. Option C is misleading because open carry is generally allowed throughout the state, but local regulations may still apply.
