What is considered concealed carry in Virginia?

  1. A weapon carried in a holster that is visible

  2. A weapon in your vehicle’s glove compartment

  3. A weapon carried openly in your hand

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: A weapon in your vehicle’s glove compartment

In Virginia, concealed carry refers to carrying a weapon on your person or within your immediate proximity, generally without being visible to others. Option A, carrying a weapon in a visible holster, is considered open carry and does not require a concealed carry permit. Option C, carrying a weapon openly in your hand, is also considered open carry and does not require a concealed carry permit. Option D, all of the above, is incorrect as only option B qualifies as concealed carry in Virginia. Option B, carrying a weapon in the glove compartment of your vehicle, requires a concealed carry permit because it is within your immediate proximity, even though it is not on your person.
