Virginia

Likely honored, confirm first

Often listed as honoring all states' permits for holders 21 and over, but sources disagree. Confirm with Virginia State Police first.

What to Do

Sources disagree on whether this state honors a Massachusetts LTC. Confirm with the state police or attorney general before you carry.
Until you confirm, travel as if it's not honored: unloaded and locked away.
