Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

I figured out where to send an email to the Virginia State Police that was likely to get an informed answer (firearms@vsp.virginia.gov). I got an answer very quickly and it's quite logical. Here it is:

"For permit reciprocity or recognition, Virginia law requires that the issuing authority provide the means for instantaneous verification of the validity of all such permits or licenses issued within that state, accessible 24 hours a day. Alabama and Georgia have reported that they do not have this capability at this time."
