After Bloomy sent his goons down to attempt straw purchases the first time, the Virginia AG sent him a letter saying it was not nice & please don't do it again. Well, apparently Bloomy could not take the hint, so Virginia passed a law against coming down from NYC trying this sort of bull hockey (Class 6 felony - 1 year).
These fools were apparently video'd by the venue security cameras but the cops were not able to get enough "evidence" to charge them. Additionally, lack of communication coordinatiuon between the cops & on-site show manager prevented the announcement of the situation so that a perp-walk cordon could be formed before they were escorted off premises.
stay safe.

See Bloomberg....NO GUNSHOW LOOPHOLE
A big pat on the back for the Administration of Showmasters Gunshow and the gun owners in Virginia.
At yesterdays show at the Raceway, two people from New York came into the show. They went to several vendors and at least one private seller, trying to buy a gun. They were turned away each time.
One private seller went to the show manager and asked if it was legal to sell to them. When he was told no, he returned to the people and said no way. After the man had been turned down by Dark Sun, the woman tried to buy a gun from them.
By that time the police had been notified and they questioned the couple. Apparently there wasn’t enough to charge them, at least yet.
I understand a third New York car came in after the episode and left rather quickly.
Were these Bloombergers or just Carpetbaggers ?….whatever they were, they found out there isn’t a loophole and buying illegal guns is hard in Virginia.
There was an announcement on the PA about this and and the whole place applauded.
