In Virginia an officer can check and see by the plates on the vehicle whether the vehicle owner has a CWP but they have to actually go to a different screen to check and see.

I've been retired since 2002 so my memory is a bit hazy.

So they would have torn this guy apart, telling him he has a gun, because of a background check from when nobody knows? And not knowing if he ever did buy the gun?

And I used to like Virginia.
