Is open carry of a handgun legal in Virginia without a CHP?

No, under no circumstances
Yes, without any permit
Yes, but only in rural areas
Yes, but it is restricted to U.S. citizens

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

In Virginia, open carry of a handgun without a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) is legal. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Virginia law allows individuals to openly carry a handgun without a permit as long as they are legally allowed to possess firearms. It's important to note that while open carry is generally allowed without a permit, there are specific restrictions and regulations regarding where firearms can be carried, so it's essential for individuals to familiarize themselves with the applicable laws and regulations. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because open carry without a permit is indeed allowed in Virginia, not restricted to specific areas such as rural areas or limited to U.S. citizens only.
