Yesterday while I was buying the last couple pieces of vacuum hose I needed to finish the intake manifold change on my car one of my favorite counter guys noticed I was carrying a gun. I have known this guy for a couple of years and through a casual conversation I found out I was actually stationed with his brother in the PI.
He told me he wanted to buy a small handgun to carry but he had a domestic violence conviction and stated he would register any gun he bought.
I explained to him that there is no such thing as handgun registration in Virginia, he asked about all the paper work that was filled out when you bought a new gun. I explained to him that was for background checks, not registration and that there was no requirement for any paperwork for private sales.
This is where the question comes from. He then asked if I would sell him a handgun.
I told him I would not sell him a gun period since he had told me he had a DV conviction. What would you have told him?
