Just the highlights, there is a section that requires the "promoter" to run a criminal history check on all sellers.
If this passes, we will not be able to sell to our nieghbors in next year's bill.
8.01-226.12. Civil immunity for sellers in firearms.
Any person who sells, transfers, or trades a firearm shall not be liable for any claim arising from, or in any way related to, the use of the firearm by the purchaser or transferee in the commission of any crime, provided that the seller has obtained a criminal history record information check as set out in § 18.2-308.2:2 that shows that the purchaser or transferee is not prohibited from possessing or transferring a firearm by state or federal law, in absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the seller.
§ 18.2-308.2:4. Criminal history record information check required to obtain firearm from firearms show vendor; penalties.
No firearms show vendor as defined in § 54.1-4200 shall transfer a firearm at a firearms show as defined in § 54.1-4200, unless the firearms show vendor has obtained verification from a dealer in firearms that information on the prospective purchaser or transferee has been submitted for a criminal history record information check as set out in § 18.2-308.2:2 and a determination is received from the Department of State Police that the prospective purchaser or transferee is not prohibited under state or federal law from possessing a firearm. The firearms show promoter's designated dealer shall provide a means by which vendors may obtain the approval or denial of their firearm transfer requests based on criminal history record information checks. The Department of State Police shall provide a means by which the firearms show promoter's designated dealer may obtain criminal history record information. The processes established shall conform to the provisions of § 18.2-308.2:2, and the definitions and provisions of § 18.2-308.2:2 regarding criminal history record information checks shall apply to this section mutatis mutandis. The firearms show promoter's designated dealer shall collect and disseminate the fees described in § 18.2-308.2:2 as required by that section. The dealer may charge and retain an additional fee not to exceed $15 for obtaining criminal history record information checks for vendors.
Any person who willfully and intentionally requests, obtains, or seeks to obtain criminal history record information under false pretenses or who willfully and intentionally disseminates or seeks to disseminate criminal history record information except as authorized by law is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.
Any person who willfully and intentionally makes a materially false statement on the consent form required by § 18.2-308.2:2 is guilty of a Class 5 felony.
Any person who willfully and intentionally sells, rents, trades, or transfers a firearm in violation of this section is guilty of a Class 6 felony.
