YES! Governor McDonnell just signed the repeal of One Handgun a Month into law!

CAUTION - CAUTION - CAUTION!

The One Handgun A Month repeal does NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL JULY 1, 2012!!!

So, until July 1, if you don't have a CHP or fall under one of the current exceptions, do not buy more than one handgun per month.

Congratulations, Virginia!

w00t! That's awesome!

Now, there is officially NO REASON to keep the duplicative Virginia State Police background check. Let the NICS check take care of firearm purchases and get the state out of it.
