I'm curious if a VA CHP is usable to purchase a handgun?

As a form of ID, yes; as a substitute for a background check, no.I'm curious if a VA CHP is usable to purchase a handgun?
Indeed it does. Finances on the other hand dictate a strict "one handgun per year [or more]" rule in my case.It also allows one to avoid the "one handgun per month" rule, in case you were not aware.

(So far as I know...and I'm just a career college student who has bought a few guns.)
Any examples?Nope, unlike some other states that allow you to skip the NICS check if you have a carry permit, VA doesn't unfortunately.
Here is the list of states whose CHP holders are exempt from NICS checks when purchasing or otherwise receiving a firearm from an FFL.nova wrote:Any examples?Nope, unlike some other states that allow you to skip the NICS check if you have a carry permit, VA doesn't unfortunately.

No. An exemptpermit only exempts the permittee from the background check requirement within the state in which the permit was issued.18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(3) provides that the NICS background check requirement "shall not apply to a firearm transfer between a licensee and another person if--Utah is on that list. I wonder if a non resident UTAH can be used in lieu of NICS in Va?
The list I linked above is correct, accurately reflecting that Nevada permits do not qualify.WVCDL wrote:That list is incorrect.Chaingun81 wrote:Here is the list of states whose CHP holders are exempt from NICS checks when purchasing or otherwise receiving a firearm from an FFL.nova wrote:Any examples?Nope, unlike some other states that allow you to skip the NICS check if you have a carry permit, VA doesn't unfortunately.
I know NV no longer [ac]cepts a CCW/CHP as an alterative to a NICS check.

You are correct, I looked at the wrong line.:banghead:The list I linked above is correct, accurately reflecting that Nevada permits do not qualify.
Wow that is one ugly link... leave it to the Government I guess... I tried to figure out how to get this BB software to handle it but I could not... so I punted, and made a tinyurl for you:Sam_G21 wrote:No. An exemptpermit only exempts the permittee from the background check requirement within the state in which the permit was issued.http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/usc.cgi?ACTION=RETRIEVE&FILE=$$xa$$busc18.wais&start=1498909&SIZE=106824&TYPE=TEXT]18 U.S.C. § 922(t)(3)[/b] provides that the NICS background check requirement "shall not apply to a firearm transfer between a licensee and another person if--Utah is on that list.

(A)(i) such other person has presented to the licensee a permit that--
(I) allows such other person to possess or acquire a firearm; and
(II) was issued not more than 5 years earlier by the State in which the transfer is to take place; and
(ii) the law of the State provides that such a permit is to be issued only after an authorized government official has verified that the information available to such official does not indicate that possession of a firearm by such other person would be in violation of law[.]"
No - Va law allows persons who cannot possess a firearm under federal law to conceal handguns in virginia - mainly, due to refusal of virginia to DQ CHP applicants for misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence.I'm curious if a VA CHP is usable to purchase a handgun?
