HB 2131 Application form and proof of residency for firearm purchase.

Introduced by: Roger J. McClure | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Application form and proof of residency for firearm purchase. Provides that any person purchasing a firearm from a dealer shall fill out a consent form for the acquisition of his criminal history record information, which does not require information equivalent to that required by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF). Currently, the BATF information is required. The bill also reduces the requirement for proof of Virginia residency to production of a government-issued photo-identification. The bill removes the requirement that the Department of Education, in conjunction with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, develop a standard informational form and posted notice to be furnished to each licensed firearms dealer in the Commonwealth to provide basic information of the laws governing the purchase, possession and use of firearms.
