gotcha, I dont really worry about printing or it becoming visible so I guess that makes it easier

Considering open carry is 100% legal in VA, without a permit, I shouldn't either. But still I do... probably because I don't want to deal with the hassle of some NOVA liberal making a big deal out of it... but then again they are too enamored with themselves to even pay attention.

In that case I should just OC my 1911.

Yeah, that's why I CC 99% of the time. I don't want to deal with it.

Though sometimes I OC when I go to the ATM since it's not in the best of locations. I do the good old "Virginia tuck."

In VA, CC in restaurants used to be illegal, so you had to transition to open carry. You basically tuck your shirt in between your holster and your gun, or between the holster and your skin, leaving the handle and back part of the slide open.

AFAIK, The Virginia Tuck is using an IWB holster (typical for concealed), but tucking your shirt inside of the holster so that the grip is displayed. It got named that because they allow Concealed carry in general, but only Open carry is allowed in bars (well, places that sell liquor for on-premises consumption, so probably restaurants too? I'm not all that up on their laws). So you CC w/ your IWB most places and then do the VA Tuck to switch to OC to enter places where CC isn't allowed.
