HB 375 Firearms; sale and purchase requirements.

Introduced by: L. Scott Lingamfelter | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Requirements for firearm sales. Provides that for the purpose of firearm purchase, the permanent duty post of a member of the armed services is considered his residence. Where a purchaser presents a copy of his permanent orders assigning him to a duty post in Virginia along with photo-identification issued by the Department of Defense, no other documentation or residency shall be required by the seller. The bill also allows any type of communication authorized by the State Police, and not just a telephone call, to ascertain a prospective purchaser's criminal record. The bill removes the requirement that firearm safety information be posted and handed out where firearms are sold.
