I'll be about 40 miles away from you.
It'll be worse than AZ, but not bad. Wait for Poodleshooter to reply for local laws. |

One gun a month BS. THere is talk that there might be a movement to repeal that though.
Instant background checks, no permit required. Although instant can sometimes mean 2 hrs or more. NRA headquarters in Fairfax, VA. They have a real nice indoor shooting range where you can shoot everything up to and including .460 Weatherby Magnum. Shall issue CCW permits after taking training course. THere is also a bill in the Senate right now that would allow CC in places that serve alcohol, as long as you are not consuming. For a complete breakdown of all the laws try the NRA web-site. They have a page with all the states and their gun laws. Also, check out [url]www.vcdl.org[/url]. Good state organisation to belong to. |

You also need a proof of US citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, if you want to buy combat arms ( my term for "assault weapon" ).
Which basically applies to the purchase of any pre-ban weapon. |

Actually, I think "scary guns" would be a better replacement for "assault weapons"

Quoted: I am currently living in AZ, and I am moving to Charlottesville, VA soon. What restrictions can I look forward to putting up with there? Chewie One handgun a month is about the worst. I'll be just on the other side of the mountain dude. Their are a bunch of shooting clubs in the Charlottesville area, as well as a free National Forest range about 2 hours west of you. Charlottesville is a great city, just very liberal. You'll see a few MMM bumperstickers and might get the evil eye from pissed off upper middle class soccer moms if you drive a truck with an NRA sticker on it. Otherwise the area is great. There is a great brewery in town, plenty of decent bars and clubs, low crime, and lots of historical type places to take the kids to. ***Beware: I've heard that Charlottesville has a judge that has been illegally adding a "supervised training" requirement to the application for a CCW. It might be worth getting a CCW just to put a socialist judge in his place. |

Quoted: This means you MUST buy one handgun a month.[:)] Friend of mine was fired from a job because the company found out he had obtained a VA CCW permit. (Hadn't brought a gun to work or anything like that...just got a permit). He sued for (among other things) wrongful termination, and got a fairly large settlement. He put all of the money into a special account, and uses it to buy (you guessed it) a handgun every month. I think he even sends the company a thank-you note after each purchase, too... [stick] |

Just stay away from Northern Va. If you come up this way you may notice the local residents look and act differently than the rest of the state.
Here I rounded up a few of the residents - see for your self. [whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko] [whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko] [whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko] [whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko][whacko] |

Quoted: WOW...a guy with less posts than me...i didn't think that was possable....no one mentioned that Charlottesville is a college town...lots of trim there... Yeah, but the trim is in pretty sad shape. Mostly ugly Oriental chicks and scag lesbians. The really fine poon is in Harrisonburg (where I go to school [;)]) at JMU. High girl to guy ratio (like 3:1) and super-fine poon. In fact, the poon is of such high quality in Harrisonburg that even poon that would be exceptional in other areas is just kind of mediocre in H-burg. Now that's some good poon. |

HEY! Another Charlottesville ARFCOM dweller here. IM me if you want information on the local range/gunclub [url]www.rrpc.org[/url] or any other aspects of the the town. Getting a CHP for CCW'ing is not difficult, even in the city itself. I had no problem when I got mine 2 years ago. Never had any additional regulations either, just use either a hunter safety card or a NRA basic pistol course certificate for training proof.

I'd agree on the one HG a month is pure BS. I got back at them because I bought 2 rifles and a shotgun in 3 weeks.
[sniper] Other than that I haven't had any thing to really complain about. Better than some states I know of.... |
