VA has pretty standard carry laws, no weird laws yet. With Bloomberg's butt buddy Northam in charge and the Dems majority we have been fortunate nothing too bad has been passed yet. The only thing of concern at the moment it the possibility of a law that would allow cities and counties to pass their own regulations that can be stricter than state law. Fortunately Northam kicked it back to the House/Senate for changes we'll see what happens there. WRT round count, the cap is 20 per mag for certain jurisdictions unless you have a CHP. Also can't carry a pistol that can accept a silencer, unless you have a CHP.

For conceal carry laws the USCCA is a great resource. They tend to have the most up to date info (VA was updated 4-20-2020) and they make it easy to understand. I have the web address for their reciprocity and law map saved on all my devices for quick reference.

Go over the info on USCCA and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for the link. If I do carry in these other states I’ll have to familiarize myself with signage requirements. Texas is black and white. If the actual wording of the law is not placed visibly in 1” block letters at the entrance in both English and Spanish, then it doesn’t apply.
