VSP website
Military Personnel Active military personnel permanently stationed in Virginia, including the Pentagon, are treated as Virginia residents for the purchase of a handgun. Identification and residency are established by a military photo-identification card issued by the United States Department of Defense and proof that Virginia is the permanent duty station via current military assignment orders or the purchaser's Leave and Earnings Statement. If permanently assigned to a mobile unit in Virginia, and the homeport is listed as Virginia; the transaction may be processed as a Virginia resident the same as any other permanent military assignment to Virginia supported by military assignment orders. The individual is treated as a non-Virginia resident if the homeport is listed as any place other than Virginia. |

I would ask to see orders, NOT their leave and earnings statement (LES). Too easy to "photoshop" the info. LES only shows zip code for BAH.

Make sure they're active duty and not Reserves or National Guard stationed with a unit in Virginia. It is not the same thing

I thought that was only hand guns? I thought rifles could be sold even to out of state residents as long as they could legally own them?
I know I have bought rifles in other states when a VA resident. Well I guess it depends on what kind of rifle you are talking. When I bought some rifles and shotguns in PA, they could sell them to me even being a VA resident because I was buying bolt action rifles and pump shot gun...not an evil black rifle. I did buy mine from a FFL in PA so is it different for private sells? I mean I went to PA and bought them in PA and drove them back home, not a transfer. |

From all my research you need one of the following:
VA driver's license or Mil ID with orders stationing them in VA Me... AK resident, MD orders living in VA = no new guns for me in VA... The feds are OK with adjacent states but VA's rules are a touch more restrictive. |
