Gun Case

Is carrying a gun in a gun case considered to be carrying a concealed weapon?

I just bought a Bushmaster AR-15 Assault rifle and it came with its own Bushmaster gun case. I live in Virginia and im 20 years old so It is perfectly legal to carry an unloaded gun, as long as the gun is not concealed. I was just wondering If I keep the gun in its case so that you cant see the gun, but you can clearly see the Bushmaster gun case, would it be considered transporting a concealed weapon?

NO.
Not according to the federal government (but remember that some state's laws are inane because of the psycho-liberals.)

The federal government says:

A firearm or dangerous weapon is NOT considered concealed if it is:

1. Carried in a belt holster which is wholly or substantially visible or carried in a case designed for carrying a firearm or dangerous weapon and which is wholly or substantially visible;
2. Locked in a closed trunk or luggage compartment of a motor vehicle;
3. Carried in the field while lawfully engaged in hunting, trapping, or target shooting, whether visible or not; or
4. Carried by any person permitted by law to possess a handgun unloaded and in a secure wrapper from the place of purchase to that person's home or place of business, or to a place of repair, or back from those locations.
5. A bow and arrow, an unloaded rifle or shotgun, or an unloaded weapon that will expel, or is readily capable of expelling, a projectile by the action of a spring, compressed air, or compressed gas including any such weapon commonly referred to as a BB gun, air rifle, or CO 2 gun, while carried in a motor vehicle.

-- So your gun case informs sentient people that you are carrying a firearm. If you had it in a fed-x tube or the old cello case etc, then it would be concealed.
