I'm a FL resident stationed in VA. I have my FL concealed weapons permit, but looking to buy a new handgun once back from deployment. From what I understand, my FL concealed weapons permit is no good for purchasing handguns without a wait like in FL.
Because of being Military in VA I'm automatically considered a resident by the state. How long of wait do I have to endure for a purchase of a handgun in VA? Thanks all for the info! William |

Background check is conducted instantly over the phone, thus no waiting period.
Try to schedule your purchase to a day when there's not a gun show going on, those days have a very high number of call-ins and there can be a wait, not due to any mandated period, but simply due to the lines being busy when merchants try to call the VSP. |

Quoted: Still have 1 gun a month don't we? So technically he'll have a waiting period of 30 days for his 2nd gun. Correct. I believe the bill that would have repealed 1 gun a month was one of several gun bills that died in the so-called "death star" committee as VCDL called it. Either way I know it didn't make it this year. |
