Frequently Asked Questions

What was the recent legal victory for 18-20 year olds regarding handgun purchases in Virginia?

A Virginia judge granted an injunction allowing 18-20 year olds to purchase handguns through private sales. The ruling stated that since Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) cannot transfer handguns to those under 21, the new law effectively banned this age group from exercising their rights.

What is the status of the 'one gun a month' lawsuit in Virginia?

The lawsuit challenging Virginia's 'one gun a month' law is ongoing. While a judge denied an emergency injunction, the case continues to move forward with the goal of overturning the law. No new court date has been set yet.

What are the concerns regarding local gun control in Virginia?

Cities like Alexandria, Portsmouth, and Roanoke are reportedly passing their own local firearm restrictions, which raises concerns about potential violations of state preemption laws and an increase in localized gun control measures.

How can Virginians get involved with Gun Owners of America (GOA)?

Virginians can contact John Crump, GOA State Director, via email or the GOA-Virginia Facebook group to voice concerns or get involved. Monthly Zoom meetings are also held to discuss legislative issues and advocacy efforts.
