• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.
  • If you are having trouble seeing the forum then you may need to clear your browser's DNS cache. Click here for instructions on how to do that
  • Please review the Forum Rules frequently as we are constantly trying to improve the forum for our members and visitors.

I need some help, namely in the forms of laws/codes.

It cannot be hidden from common observation.

Cannot be hidden from common observation unless you have a CHP or it is placed in a secure compartment which can be a console or glove compartment.

"As of July 1, 2010, a concealed handgun permit is not necessary when carrying a handgun while in a personal, private motor vehicle or vessel and such handgun is secured in a container or compartment in the vehicle or vessel."

THERE IS NO GUN REGISTRATION IN VIRGINIA. Say it a 3rd time: THERE IS NO GUN REGISTRATION IN VIRGINIA (caveat: unless you have a Class III weapon and have the ATF tax stamp).
Slight correction... Full Auto or select fire only (machine guns, to use the vernacular). Short barreled rifles and shotguns, as well as AOW's, don't require registration (unless they are also machine guns).
