According to VA law it appears that I can open carry a firearm as long as it holds 20 or less rounds of ammunition. Does that mean I can open carry say a Glock 17 with 19 round magazines, and also open carry 2 additional 19 round magazines?
Taking this further can I also carry in addition to my pistol an AR-15 that has vietnam era 20 round magazines? In essense carrying two firearms which in total carry more than 20 rounds without reloading but individually carry less than 20? And can I open carry my cold steel knife all at the same time?
If I can't then can I conceal (having a CHP) a pistol but open carry my AR-15 with 20 round magazines?
I was originally going to ask this question since I hike in state parks but VA seems to ban firearms in parks unless you have it concealed and you have a permit to conceal.
So this question is more about can I walk around in my blackhawk gear fully armed (as long as my magazines are 20 rounds or less) with an AR-15, pistol, and knife? Is that within the law? yes we all know this is not advisable regardless of the law... this is more of a "theory" question.
