Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key provisions of Virginia's SB749 regarding assault firearms?

SB749 proposes banning the import, sale, transfer, and possession of 'assault firearms.' The definition is broad, including semi-automatic centerfire rifles/pistols with magazines over 20 rounds or specific features, and certain semi-automatic shotguns. Penalties include fines up to $2500, jail time, and a 3-year prohibition.

Does Virginia's SB749 include a grandfather clause for existing large-capacity magazines?

No, Senate Bill 749 does not include a grandfather clause for existing large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, defined as magazines holding more than 10 rounds. This means current owners of such magazines could face penalties under the proposed law.

What new restrictions on carrying firearms are proposed in Virginia?

Several bills propose new restrictions: SB272 bans firearms in state-owned buildings and Capital Square. SB312 broadly prohibits carrying firearms in most public places like streets and parks. These bills significantly alter current carry laws.

What are the new firearm storage requirements in Virginia under proposed legislation?

SB496 requires firearms in unattended vehicles to be in a permanently attached, hard-cased lockbox. SB348 mandates biometric storage for loaded guns if a minor is present in the residence. Violations carry misdemeanor penalties.
