Hey everyone! I've been trying to chase this down to see how I can legally acquire a new pistol. I know that since I am 'not a resident' of VA due to orders putting me in DC and purchasing a pistol is almost impossible. I cannot purchase anything but long guns with my IN license at a VA gun shop.
I am a resident t of IN. Is it possible to purchase a pistol in IN and have it transferred to an FFL in VA and take possession of it? They won't sell me a gun here, could they at least take the 25-30 bucks and hand it to me?
I know, I know. By law I am a DC Resident (such dirty words) but could I go home and purchase a pistol and get it transferred to a VA FFL is what I am asking.
If you are a Virginia resident and have government issued ID that reflects that, you can buy a handgun in Virginia. I'm not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure if you are not a resident and intentionally engage in a private sale to get around the laws, both you and the seller may be committing a felony. I'm not a lawyer... that is just an "I think".
Your issue is your orders have your duty station in DC...if they had you stationed in VA you would be good to go. Your only other option would be to purchase in IN then ship it to yourself.

DC doesn't sell, but Charlie Sykes rapes you with a 125 dollar transfer fee. Ouch.
Getting a license here doesn't look bad either. Mine is up in Dec. Might as well get one that reflects address and be good to go.
Should open another thread, but do any of you own NFA items? Like SBR and suppressor? I want to buy an EVO 805 and turn into SBR with a can...or build a .300blk ground up.
Ideas? I think if I was to obtain a VA drivers license it would fix almost ALL of my problems.
