No statute bans it, just like no statute bans unlicensed open carry of a pistol.

The correct question is what statute bans it?

The state AG's ofc isn't aware of one, and va has preemption.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Izaak,

Does VA have the same problem that WI has of local LEOs and DAs arresting/charging open carriers with disturbing the peace since they can't stop open carriers for any other reason?

No due to an arrest and lawsuit several years ago.  If you open carry here you may get a question from a cop just to see if you're otherwise sane.  I've carried open wearing a suit and got barely a glance from le.

That being said, carrying a longarm on a sling would merit greater scrutiny.  I don't consider a stop and chat under those circumstances bad.  At the least, its an opp to reinforce that being armed is ok and legal.

i think if a  Police pulled me over for wearing a shotgun like that and it wasn't loaded that as long as its a civil conversation of what's up and such and i was just on my way from the store or to or from the range, etc , it wouldn't be a big deal at all to me.

in all likelihood as long as its only a stop for just asking why i'm there and such and no tickets or such then would probably be pretty cool  Police and actually have a good conversation about guns and such.

OK, here you go:

VA preemption statute:

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+15.2-915

Does not distinguish between handguns and longarms, only allows localities to enact restrictions on discharge of a weapon. 

And to the VA legislature's credit, subsection C permits lawsuits against a locality violating the preemption to get attorney fees, damages, etc.

it also doesn't say anything about sticking a midget up your ass too.  waytogo

but after digging around even more, I found that the state allows localities to set limitations provided they are posted and it also allows for individuals to carry regardless of local statutes if they have a reasonable belief that it's necessary for their personal safety.   

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+15.2-915.2

Fairfax does not have a loaded longarm carry prohibition, but Loudon does.
http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting/regulations/local-ordinances.pdf

Pretty nifty chart.

Back to the OP, I have found that pretty much all DC/MD/VA drivers are lame.  DC drivers are just lazy.  MD drivers are stupid and aggressive and VA drivers are stupid and timid.  I am not sure why this works out that way.

the answer lies here

...§ 15.2-915.2.  This section empowers the governing body of any county or city to, by ordinance, make it unlawful for any person to transport, possess or carry a loaded shotgun or loaded rifle in any vehicle on any public street, road, or highway within such locality. Any violation of such ordinance shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $100....

i didn't see that original post when i posted the link to the same statute, but that only allows the localities to have the law.  look at the DGIF chart I posted, most of them do not.  (items #22 and #54)

Funny how this thread started about the courtesy of drives in the DC area and degenerated into one about carrying weapons... Undecided

Unless guns are a highly effective means of promoting courtesy among drivers laughingdp
