lets talk new stupid laws. basically, there are no more face to face private transfers of guns as of last june. fine. now, in order for me to buy a gun from someone else in va....whats the next step? im being told that gun dealers cant even do private transfers unless their business is on an authorized state police list of dealers.
who has that list? getting thru to state police is impossible. (mailbox full) then a hang up. anyone hear have a link or would cut/paste it here or pm it to me? lmk
next...set for june 2021, state police require people to submit for a state background check thru them (before) approaching a dealer to do a transfer? true false?

I recently sold a rifle to another VA resident. We went to a gun shop that I have had many transfers done before. They simply logged the rifle in their A&D book coming from me, then the buyer filled out the normal paperwork and the transfer was done. I think any FFL holder can do this, it's nothing special.
As for your last question, the background check goes through the state police, never heard of pre-applying.

I tried to do that, but the dealers i used for years, told me that only a dealer from the authorized list can do it now.

Yeah & wishing I'd gone to Tennessee or WV instead for this last move. The stupidity in Richmond just keeps on rollin'.
Hadn't heard about the pre-approval thing yet. I wonder if a CCW permit counts as pre-approval?

What part of VA are you in? There's a guy here in Chesterfield, Sonny's Transfers that can handle your transaction and I'm pretty sure it only costs $17.
I've been here my whole life and have watched things slowly change to what we have now, it sure ain't what it used to be. I'm about ready for a change.

Brother-in-law is in the Navy stationed in VA. He was just told yesterday that they are no longer allowed to own or possess a firearm on or off base even in civilian housing that they use the BAQ for!!!

Sounds like infringement to me.
Any dealer should be allowed to do that transfer.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Sonnys Guns and TransfersSonny does a lot of transfers at his house. He doesn’t have a very bubbly personality but the price is right and in a good spot for you. Depending on which part of Midlothian, he’s probably around 15minutes or less away. Also, Sonny’s is between you and Midlothian so that should help you a little.

It’s been a long time since I was in Bobs. Good memories when they handled the higher end stuff. My USA made 10X suit came from that store along with a Remington 700 BDL Classic in 7mm mag. COuldn’t afford anything there until I got my divorce.

Huh? Never heard of this. Some dealers don’t do transfers, whether private or if you want to buy something and have it shipped to the store.
So you’re saying there’s an additional stipulation from the State Police for private sellers?

No chance. Someone is misinterpreting or taking liberties with a regulation (not surprised these days). On base housing they can regulate but zero legal standing off base and a JAG will jerk them back into alignment quickly.
