Guardsman by majority are on our side. State cops are nothing but pricks and have no respect for the constitution, same as most game wardens.
Upside is there's not enough of them to worry about.

I don't live in Virginia, but I passed through a road check there once and was packing with my CHL since Virginia has reciprocity with TX. The State Trooper handled it professionally and wasn't prickish about it at all when I informed him I was carrying and showed him my CHL. I came away from that experience favorably impressed. A sample of one only and a brief interaction at that, but there you go.
