Recently move to VA from MA. Thought I'd offer a quick compare and contrast of CCP in both.
In MA to get a CCP ( and you cannot buy pistols or ammo without it.. I am unsure of long rifles...) you visit your local police station. In my case I'm in luck because I come from the west half of the state which is very pro-gun. I paid $100, had my fingerprints and photo taken and walked out with my CCP, which is valid for 5 years.
In VA I had to go to a court house ( pain in the butt because it is only open during hours which I work), paid $50..and went back 14 days later..only to be told: "No I said it was a 45 day wait, not 4 to 5... you know a lot of people think I say 4 to 5, but it is 45..." So, I'm still waiting.
