The following laws become effective on Friday, July 1:

* Virginia will honor the permits from all other states. In turn we should get recognition from three new states: New Hampshire, Georgia, and Colorado. As of this afternoon, none of those three states have updated their web sites to show recognition of Virginia. I expect it might be a week or two before we see Virginia added to the states they honor. As the states add Virginia to their list of recognized permits.

* Gun shows will have a booth where Virginia State Police can run VOLUNTARY background checks for private sales.

* A person who has a permanent protection order against them cannot possess firearms until that order is lifted or expires (2 years is maximum time for a permanent protection order). This tracks federal law.

* No second ID will be required when purchasing a firearm. For so-called “assault firearms,” the requirement for proof of citizenship is gone.

* Members of the Virginia National Guard with CHPs can carry concealed on National Guard facilities, with limited exceptions

Thanks for the info. I just moved here from GA and the VA State Police says my CWL is valid here and VA CHPs are good in GA.

Any news yet on GA's waffling?

Still waffling.
