There isn't a by-law 30day wait for new residents- there's a requirement for your ID to be 30days old which turns into that, in effect. This is a relict from the old "one handgun a month" law, under which the crappy gov system (shocked face) could not handle things like an ID of First Middle Last compared to First M. Last, so people gamed the system with various IDs. A cheap, thoughtless fix was the ID time requirement.

IIRC, it is a result of some dipshit that was new to the state, bought a rifle, and then shot up a parking lot in NOVA,, may have been in the mid 90's, and yes, it came about the same year, give or take, and the original 1 gun a month under Wilder |

Thanks all. I guess it’s good to know my understanding of federal rules remains intact and this is an issue unique to VA.
I guess I’ll just count down the days to make my purchase. |

Seems to me the ID thing was late 80s/every early 90s when the Dems/Rinos were passing little gun control bills every year.
Used to be a thing that people from DC and other gun-control places would get a Virginia license to buy guns so they put in a 30 day wait to discourage that. |
