Now if we can get the "castle doctrine" to pass, or even "hold your ground" instead of "tuck you tail and run" things would be better.
From Virginia Firearms Transaction Program:
Primary Identification
The primary form of ID shall consist of a valid photo-ID form issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth or of the prospective purchaser or transferee’s home state that denotes the individual’s name, race, sex, address, and date of birth. Where the primary form is a photo-ID issued by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), the dealer shall not transfer a firearm to the prospective purchaser until 30-days after the date of issue of an original or duplicate driver’s license unless a copy of his/her DMV driver’s record is presented showing that the original date of issue was more than 30-days prior to the attempted purchase.
From BATF Open Letter to All Firearms Dealers
Second, DOJ concluded that, as a matter of law, applying a more stringent state residency requirement for aliens legally present in the U.S. than the U.S. citizens is incomparable with the language of the Gun Control Act (GCA). Therefore, an alien legally in the United States is not required to provide 90-days proof of continuous residence in the State prior to the transfer of the firearm.
Now the way I read this is if a U.S. citizen moves to Virginia and gets a new Virginia driver’s license he will have to wait 30 days to purchase a firearm. An alien, on the other hand, doesn’t have to wait.
Well done, Virginians!
