Virginia Firearm Bill of Sale
There are no laws in Virginia that regulate the private transaction of privately held weapons. For any sales that take place at weapons exhibitions, however, sellers are required to undertake background investigation on purchasers. For all weapon transactions, licensed dealers must also undertake background investigations. A Class 4 felony is committed by anyone who sells a handgun to someone who is forbidden from owning one.
In the state of Virginia, anyone who fits any of the requirements outlined below is barred from acquiring a firearm:
