I think CWPs are up in about every state.
Here in VA we have open carry law.
People keep asking when I am going to get my CWP and my reply is, why should I.
I can walk into a bank with it strapped on my side, as long as it is in plain view, but you can't with a CWP.
Sure I will be harassed, but there is nothing they can do about it, as long as it is a legal gun and I don't make any threaten moves or act stupid.
I figure if I have it concealed than a perp might try to rob me, not knowing I am carrying.
If it's in plain view and he still try's then he is either a fool or a nut.
My buddy and my self have been through many road checks before with loaded hand guns laying on the seat in plain view.
We always tell them as soon as they walk up that we have a loaded handgun on the seat.
Most of the time all they say is, "JUST KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE THEY CAN SEE THEM".
Sometimes they ask what caliber we are carrying.
Most of them are cool with it.
Seems like they really like a person who carries a 45 colt!
We have even been asked to be on standby in case they need backup a time or two.
Va is still pretty keen on the second ammendment! SO FAR!!!
