Monthly Purchase Limit

[BigGrease]

Hey everyone, new guy here. I have a question concerning the purchase dates when it comes to the 1 pistol per month limit. I ordered a gun online on 12/20/11. Due to the holiday season, I couldn't pick it up until 1/6/12. My question is, when it comes to the purchase limit, would the date I purchased the gun online count, or would the date I actually picked it up from the FFL count? I'm guessing date of pickup, but I wanted y'alls opinions. Thanks.

An FFL would know for sure, and most would be more than happy to answer the question if you called them. But as far as I know, it is based on your approval date from your background check. And remember there is no silly 30 day wait on private purchases done between citizens of the great state of Virginia.

It's the date you picked it up from the FFL. I know this for sure.

The law is more properly worded as a "may not take possession of more than one in 30 days".

You may buy as many as you like, you just can only take one a month home

Thanks for the info.

Also, if you get your CHP, the 30 day requirement is nullified (does not apply to those with a CHP)
