Virginia doesn't have any stupid regs about rifles, transport it normally. Carry permits don't apply. Trunk is fine, you can't have a loaded rifle accessible inside the car.

That's because there's no special restrictions.

That's because there's no special restrictions. § 18.2-308.2:01. Possession or transportation of certain firearms by certain persons. A. It shall be unlawful for any person who is not a citizen of the United States or who is not a person lawfully admitted for permanent residence to knowingly and intentionally possess or transport any assault firearm or to knowingly and intentionally carry about his person, hidden from common observation, an assault firearm. B. It shall be unlawful for any person who is not a citizen of the United States and who is not lawfully present in the United States to knowingly and intentionally possess or transport any firearm or to knowingly and intentionally carry about his person, hidden from common observation, any firearm. A violation of this section shall be punishable as a Class 6 felony. C. For purposes of this section, "assault firearm" means any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material and is equipped at the time of the offense with a magazine which will hold more than 20 rounds of ammunition or designed by the manufacturer to accommodate a silencer or equipped with a folding stock. https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title18.2/chapter7/section18.2-308.2:01/ |

So my cousin's husband is a Virginia State Trooper - he just text me back that if I have the bolt out and the ammo/gun locked in a trunk (or in the back of my SUV), I should be fine. I don't know how much he really knows for sure. But that's what he just told me via text.

You don't need to take the damn bolt out.

Dont load the mags. Put it in the trunk, nothing else needs done. Or the rifle can be in the case in the car, and the ammo in the trunk. You only have to worry about a cop that has no clue. Taking the bolt out is a Military thing. Thats why some rifle cases have a bolt pouch.
