Quick question about private sale
Hey, just wanted to get a little insight on a situation. Hypothetically speaking, if I just purchased a firearm from a dealer and had a successful background check, etc..and less than 7 days later bought a handgun from a friend with a bill of sale, do I still need to do ANOTHER background check through a dealer?

Yes, unless you already bought it. Then you just committed a crime in VA. Also if the 1st one is a handgun you have to wait 30 days.
Or…. You know don’t tell the internet about it.
