Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key changes to Virginia's assault weapons ban under Governor Spanberger's amendments?

Governor Spanberger's amendments to Virginia's assault weapons ban (HB27) expand definitions to include more firearms based on cosmetic features and magazine capacity. Handguns need two cosmetic features, long guns one, and maximum magazine capacity is limited to 15 rounds for grandfathered magazines.

How do the new Virginia laws affect firearm storage in vehicles?

Virginia laws HB110 and SB496 require handguns in vehicles to be out of plain view and secured in a locked, hard-sided container. This container can be secured with a steel cable or bolt. A waiver is provided if a stolen firearm is reported within 48 hours.

What is the impact of HB901 on Virginia's red flag law?

HB901 significantly expands Virginia's red flag law by allowing a broader range of individuals, including counselors, medical professionals, family members, and intimate partners, to petition for a red flag order. Notably, the recent purchase of a firearm or ammunition can be used as evidence.

Are there new restrictions on carrying firearms in public in Virginia?

Yes, HB1524 proposes prohibiting the carry of loaded semi-automatic rifles, handguns, and shotguns in public spaces like streets, parks, and rights-of-way. Governor Spanberger also recommends removing exemptions for off-duty or retired law enforcement and licensed security guards.
