You need to check local ordinances for the county, not just state laws. Hanover is one of those counties that's losing rural area by the day. More and more city/suburb sprawl. It's a shame you get hassled these days, but look at the knuckleheads running around. Law Dogs don't want youngsters showing up at their school with bows in there vehicles. Never had a problem in Goochland. No local ordinance there about bows and the transportation there of, that I know of.
