Only after completion of the background check will you be allowed to leave with the firearm you purchased.

Thanks. So approx three days lead time.

Any limit on the quantity of guns/ammunition?

Just curious, why aren't you able to look this info up online? Why are you relying on people to spoon feed you the info you can easily find?

Unable to use the googles?

I've googled gun laws before but haven't seen a step by step process before. Thanks to PP above for laying it out nicely.

You are not to bright then because it can be found in like .072 seconds. You don't want to google "gun laws", you want to google "process to purchase gun in Virginia" and the info immediately pops up.

You can also visit the website for ANY gun store and it is listed there, did you attempt to do that? Even says "HOW TO BUY A GUN"... Again, you are not very bright. http://www.novaarmory.com/how-to-buy-a-gun/

This doesn't say anything about the three-day wait for the background check.

Are there frequent gun shows? Seems like you'd have to wait until one comes to town.

Stop responding to this idiot, no one this dumb should own a fire arm.

And yet, there is nothing stopping me.

Unless you go to a gun fair... $29.99 and like 30 minutes.

Seriously, think about having one in the house and not knowing how to use it. The number of children every day that accidentally get shot everyday from unsecured guns. It's more than going to the store and getting one, but being a responsible and well trained gun user.


That said, the question is clearly from a troll trying to stir the pot,

Most of the weapons sold at gun shows are by licensed firearm dealers, which still require a background check. The real loophole is in private party sales. If you buy a gun from a private party on Craigslist, for example, they don't have to do a background check on you. Here is what VA law says about this:

Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-308.2:1: It is a felony to knowingly transfer firearms to someone who is prohibited under state law, including those younger than 18 and non-citizens of the U.S.

Va. Code Ann. § 54.1-4201.2: State Police must be available at gun shows to conduct voluntary background checks for private firearms transfers.

First, learn how to use it. Go to a class, ask a friend, read a book.

Use google. This isn't something people need to explain to you.

If you are that serious about purchasing a gun then find the info out in an accurate manner.

Can I just walk into a gun store and buy as many guns/ammunition as I want? No need to have a permit or training certificate or anything like that? Just a valid ID? Is there a waiting period?

Just trying to understand my options if the sh1t hits the fan...
