I'm looking for concealed carry classes near Dunfries, VA. We recently moved here from Texas.

City of Richmond to host gun buyback event

"buyback" implies that the state owns/owned them all but that's a topic for another thread.

if that residency requirement check isn't too tight I can finally unload that chrome 1950's era .32 Saturday night special I've had way too long and get 5x what it's worth.

Does anyone have land they’d be willing to let me and my friend shoot our cool guns? Willing to pay!

My gun buddies and I are pretty confused about this one. In 2020, some of us thought that bump stocks were banned in Virginia. See here https://legacylis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+sum+SB14. Some of us view the Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s bump stock ban as overturning Virginia’s law, while some think it was really just a ruling against how Trump went about it (and did nothing to Virginia).

Then there’s the question of if this law is still on the books in Va, does it apply to FRTs, binaries, super safeties, etc. if you feel certain that these are illegal in Va, then take a look at this article where Va politicians seem imply that Virginia needs to still ban these items. I don’t think even the gov’t really knows…

Visiting my dad for holidays and itching to shoot my handgun. Wish Jefferson range was closer :/

I read that if you’re married and filing jointly you can claim up to $600 for a gun safety device tax credit instead of the normal $300 but you each have to file separate tax credit applications. Does anyone know if this means we can buy a single device worth up to $600 and get credit, or would it be limited to two $300 devices since there would be two applications? We would be purchasing from an FFL.

Im 18 and want to know if i can still purchase a handgun. I know about private sales but heard they have to go through an FFL now, is this true? And if it is will the FFL deny me the purchase because im under 21. If thats the case is there any other way to purchase one, thank you.

Came with a paper card though:/

Has anyone been to this range? If so, is it a good range and would you recommend it to a first timer? Thanks!

I can only find info about them banning AR15’s and then one thing about vetoing it so I’m not sure what the laws are. Traveling for Christmas and would like to do some shooting with family.

The courthouse here is requiring I provide my CAC and a DD214 even though im still in the reserves. I was only active during boot camp and A-school and terminated my active leave in July. Do I really need the form to apply? Would I be able to print out my hangun qual that I did in bootcamp to circumvent ordering a dd214?

There are 2 parking garages at the Mark Center in Alexandria- a Federal facility. One inside the gates, the other is outside the gates. Could someone with a chp have a pistol locked in their vehicle (in a safe) in the parking garage outside the gates?

URGENT ACTION ITEM – NEWPORT NEWS PREPARING TO BAN ALL CARRY IN THE CITY’S GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS!

This Tuesday, November 26, at 7pm, the Newport News City Council is planning to vote on stripping away the right of CHP holders to carry in City owned government buildings! CHP holders are currently exempted from the carry ban in government buildings, community and recreation centers, parks, and permitted events.

The ordinance does the following things:

Removes the right of CHP holders to carry in any building owned or leased by the City or any authority or government entity controlled by the City, that is being used for governmental purposes. For buildings not owned by the City, the ban applies to the parts of the building used by the City for governmental purposes while being used as such. Removes the right of CHP holders to carry in a recreation or community center operated by the City or any authority or government entity controlled by the City. Restores the right to carry in parks or permitted events by those open carrying.CHP holders continue to be able to carry in those locations. This is the only positive change to the current ordinance. A violation can result in a trespass charge, if the armed gun owner refuses to leave the building when directed to do so. There is also a provision for a civil penalty of $500. If we are going to stop this ordinance change, we need to act NOW!

ACTION ITEM

If you live or work in Newport News, email City Council to object to this proposed ordinance. This email address reaches all City Council members at once: council@nnva.gov

Sample comment, feel free to personalize or change it as you wish:

I strongly oppose stripping law abiding concealed handgun permit holders of their right to self-defense in the City’s government buildings, as well as in recreation and community centers! This proposed ordinance change is mean spirited and without justification, as concealed handgun permit holders are model citizens. The only part of this proposed ordinance that I support is the complete removal of the gun ban in City parks and at permitted events.

Call your City Council member and let them know that you object to the proposed ordinance change, except as it applies to parks and permitted events. Phone number to reach a City Council member is: 757-926-8618. Here are the City Council members: https://nngov.civicweb.net/portal/members.aspx?id=10

Let’s flood the meeting with gun owners wearing orange Guns Save Lives stickers! (I will be handing those stickers out.) If you can also speak during the public hearing, that’s even better. The meeting starts at 7pm.Location:

Newport News City Council Chambers City Hall 2400 Washington Avenue Newport News, VA 23607

Note:concealed carry, but NOT open carry, is still legal at this meeting.

Let’s push back hard! See you at the meeting!

I plan on visiting the Williamsburg area next month and am trying to review all of the laws for VA prior to the trip. It looks like localities can make their own restrictions and your signage laws are different. My question is, are there any additional restrictions in the Williamsburg area? We'll probably go to Jamestown and Yorktown, and possibly other SE VA tourist areas. I know that Busch Gardens doesn't allow carry, at least the one in FL doesn't. Just trying to make for a smooth trip. While I know that open carry is legal there, I doubt that I will.

I live in Chesapeake and have no idea where I can go to shoot outdoors (especially farther than 100 yds). I’d like to know if there are any ranges out here that aren’t member only. If someone with land that’s safe to shoot on would like to befriend me that’d be equally as effective. I’m just getting tired of shooting in only standing on our local indoor flat ranges. Any help is appreciated.

I live in NoVa so I always go to the Cove so wondering if anyone knows about any ranges in the Richmond area we could go to? I'll be in the Chesterfield area near the Dominion Range (looks like you need to buy their ammo) and the Amelia WMA. I think the WMA could be the backup in case its just private options now.

Hi All, I’m looking to purchase a suppressor online (not through silencershop). Can anyone recommend a good dealer to handle the transfer (I’m in Vienna) nearby? Many thanks.

Looking for services that include, not limited to, drilling, tapping, threading fit/finishing. new to va and need to where i can get my guns looked at if need be

new to area and curious about laws, are out of state permits viewed here legally? where im from open carry was not a thing so im curious how that affects my permit and the laws

As a current long time gun over i see that open carry is legal here, Is it common/normal for people to open carry long guns/shot guns while out hiking? Im unfamiliar with the “Normalcy” of the does and donts of gun stuff up here

Hey guys, I recently picked up a Lunar-45 and I’m having a hard time trying to find a piston that will allow me to thread the suppressor onto a 9mm. If anyone knows of another company or a site selling a Gemtech 1/2x28 piston please let me know. Thanks in advance!

My Grand father died, I will be taking one of his handguns. His will did not specify anyone owning them when he died. My Grandmother said I could have it. Is there any paperwork I need to have done for the firearm? I’ll probably concealed carry it after I get a concealed carry permit. If I ever had to use it would I need any paperwork for this particular gun?

Are there any 3 Gun Competitions in Virginia? I’ve checked Practiscore but don’t see anything, would love to get into it

I live near Gainesville, Manassas area. I lost my firing pin retaining pin in and looking for any shops in the area like trojin arms to purchase a replacement. I've looked online, but the shipping bites me in the ass. Any help would be appreciated!

Probably two dumb questions but if I bought a handgun on the 1st of this month would I be able to pick one up on the 1st of december exactly 30 days out or wait until the 2nd? Also, I have a concealed carry permit but lost the physical card, if im within those 30 days would doing the background check be enough or do I need to fill out something else?

Good morning, I'm new to shotguns and was hoping someone could recommend a range in the NOVA area as well as what ammo I should get?

Any recommendations on outdoor ranges near Northern VA? Around Woodbridge, Fairfax, Fort Belvoir.

Thanks in advance
