Don’t come to Virginia looking for a loophole

Think there’s a gunshow loophole in Virginia, think again.
Shortly before Noon today at the Showmasters Gunshow heing held at the RIR Raceway in Henrico County, a man was taken into custody due of the diligence of vendors and individuals selling personal weapons.
The man whose name is being withheld, is a Veteran from New Jersey, and has emotional problems. He was trying to purchase a gun. Vendors and others he spoke to notified Police that the man was acting strangely and could not prove he was a Virginia Resident.
No one would sell him a firearm.
When Police checked, the family of the man had had commitment papers issued in New Jersey and apparently he had fled to the Virginia Show to commit suicide.
I spoke to the arresting Officer minutes after they took him into custody. He said the man was not very cooperative and not talking much, but it was evident there was a very real problem.
The message in this is that there is NO GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE here.
