Greensboro, which is only 40 miles from Danville, VA, but over 200 miles from Norfolk.

Ah, you'd be coming down 95, not the coastal route. Too bad. Would be nice to meet a fellow COTEP.

Maybe someday.

[DrHenley]

Yeah, too bad.

We go up 85 through Atlanta to Richmond and then 95 from Richmond to Northern Virginia.
When I drive by myself I prefer to take the scenic route through the Shenandoah Valley.

So far the laws haven't affected me down in the southern/rural part of Virginia.

I'm worried about them passing a magazine law that would basically make all semi auto pistols illegal. The way the law is phrased, any firearm which can accept a magazine containing more than 10 rounds... essentially means any weapon with a magazine. It failed last time. If it passes, it might make 1911's illegal. The only things I'll have that are legal then will be my Remington 870 and my Remington 700. Sad.

Then there's the assault weapon ban that failed last time, but who knows next time.

Then there's the 30 day wait between purchases, but that doesn't apply to CCW holders.

Wife just retired from USN with 30 years of service and if they really pass those laws, we're thinking about moving to Idaho. At least there's no rioting there, and folks pretty much leave you alone.

What are you wanting to shoot with your SiL? I don't see why you'd have a problem with Virginia at this point. I'd stay out of northern VA though

Fellow Virginian, that "Waiting Period" you mention,( 30 Days) only applies to Handguns. Not Long Guns. And, correctly, if You have a Virginia CHP, You can purchase all the Handguns you want to. We've had this Law Before, It Sucks, it's Stupid, and will Not Save Any Lives. We need to Elect Amanda Chase for Governor Next year, and we MUST change the Senate & House to Republican Control!

I so agree with you. I'm hoping that all the nonsense over the last year or so has woken Virginia up, but I'm not optimistic. There are too many liberals in NoVA, Richmond, and Charlottesville.

Believe me, I don't want to leave VA. I love it here and the extended family is here. Down here in SEVA, you see Trump signs on the lawns. Maybe we can win it.
