New to Virginia

Greetings Vaguns,

Hello all, I am also a new Va resident. I moved to the Norfolk area from wonderful state of Illinois, I was active with Illinois State Rifle Association & NRA and it's fight to get concealed carry in IL. Yes it will be great to move into a state that is a little more friendly to the 2nd.

I grew up in hunting in the wilds of northern WI, so the climate in Va. will take me a while to get used to.

I am looking for advice on where to shoot, where to shop, and on concealed carry in Va.

LbDacook


P.S. I am really looking forward to get my NFA Trust setup so I can procure a few NFA items :-)

Yes, things are a bit different. Being 21, having a DL, passing a BGC will get you armed. Proshooter will get you through the CCW class. Excellent teacher. I'd reccomend the Utah class so you can get both permits. :wave:
Just a tad different than Il.

I do have my Utah and Florida permits, is there credit given for previous classes?

Was for me. I had a current Ohio CHL and when I applied for my VA CHP the Court Clerk took that as proof of training.

Yes, as long as you have a certificate of training.
