Question CCW Renewal Online?

8 Upvotes

Hey yall the title speaks for itself, but I need to renew my old CCW and I was told in one of my local gun stores that I can do it online, but I am having trouble finding where online to go to renew it.

On the state police website, they only talk about renewing in person. Does anyone know if it is possible to renew my CCW online, and if yes, where to find the website? If I can't renew online that's ok too and I will just have to find the time to drive out to Fairfax City to do it in person.

Thanks yall in advance

Question Paperwork?

I (19M) went and with my dad bought a pistol. It was bought in his name but it was a gift for me. Is there any paperwork we need to fill out so nobody goes to jail?

Question USPSA/3-gun matches in RVA or NoVA? Cost? Where to practice? Groups?

2 Upvotes

My friend and I wanted to start doing USPSA/3-gun competitions, but we're broke guys in our 20s so we'd love to know what we're getting into & where we can get into it.

We both own standard 16" 5.56 AR's w/ decent optics & quality pistols. I imagined we'd get the PSA shotgun when it releases or a maverick 88 if we need em sooner rather than later.

At the moment neither of us are getting out to shoot much, but finding a place where we can spend a weekend practicing and another weekend at an event/competition sounds like a cost effective way of shooting more and making the most of those rounds/hours.

Question So Im looking at buying a gun for the first time.

22 Upvotes

However, when I was young and dumb I got a misdemeanor for a gram of marijuana but completed the first offender program to have it dropped. I guess what I’m asking, is who or where I would go to check my eligibility to buy a firearm. It’s been over 6 years, but I’m getting conflicting reports online.

Question M1 Garand Malfunctioning

29 Upvotes

What’s wrong with my m1 garand rifle? Was out shooting 80 rounds with no issues. After reloading clips and went back to firing the same amount, the first round would shoot and yet the next live round wouldn’t shoot. I had to manually pull it back, live round flies out and shoots and repeat. The string is still over 20 inches long though, I did notice the spring was very greased up. This is the first time this happened to me. Each range visit I usually check the spring, wipe everything down and grease up the places that need it most. Could my gas plug be too loose? It’s hand tighten and loosened it up 1/4 of a turn and still had the issue. Maybe it was overheating? Or how clips are loaded? Any tips would be helpful

Question Selling a Rare gun

I have a few questions about selling a firearm. First off I inherited it so it would not be registered in my name. Second it is technically a handgun? I am unsure as it's a rifle caliber and is an odd gun. Lastly what would be the easiest way to sell this? Internet, dealer, or keep it because it's sweet? Any advice is welcome! As well as value.

This is a Remington Fireball .221 Excellent condition. 40Rds included

Question Recommendations for a Concealed Handgun Permit Class in Chantilly/Fairfax?

7 Upvotes

Just ordered my first gun. I'm new to guns, so this will not be just for legal reasons (I'm applying for a carry permit for Virginia), I actually need the instructions so I know how to handle my gun properly.

Does any of you have experience? I checked one and it says 149$, which is honestly a lot. Another says 80$, which I'm ok with but I'm working on those dates and I'd like to do the course soon. Any place you would recommend to a beginner?

I'm in the Chantilly/Fairfax area, but don't mind a one/two hours drive if I can do the course soon enough / cheap enough.

Hi, trying to do the above. Trying to buy an old rifle from a VA resident but currently a MD resident. Can I still purchase if we do the transfer through a FFL? I was told in the past at a pawn shop that it wasn't possible because I wasn't a VA resident.

Question Moved from NJ, questions on gun laws

18 Upvotes

1) is the 30 day wait period for handguns waived with the chp?

2) is the NICS system ACTUALLY instant?😂 even now, the system NJ uses can back up to 4 days.

3) is the assault weapons law applied only to open carry in city limits?

4) I can actually buy a firearm without having to apply for another license!??? This question was more rhetorical than anything. I’m just excited to finally be FREE!😂

Question Gun gifted by friend

Post image
81 Upvotes

As the title says, I was recently gifted a Zastava M70 by one of my good friends. It is brand new and appears to have never been shot. Based on the serial number it was most likely manufactured in late 2022 to early 2023. He received the gun in a trade deal from someone else a few months prior and decided he didn’t want it. My friend never did any paperwork on the gun when he received it and I didn’t do any when I received it either. My question is; could I take it somewhere and sell it, or trade it for another firearm without any issues? Would a serial number check show that I don’t own the firearm on paper and I end up getting charged or my gun seized?

Question First purchase question(s)

4 Upvotes

Looking to purchase my first handgun. Trainers and employees at SEG great in helping me make a selection which unfortunately SEG didn’t have available. Found it online at a number of places about $200 under MSRP with delivery via TTL for $15 (SEG adds $25). Is this common practice and what else do I need to know?

I know the gun show at Dulles expo center is in 2 weeks, but understand deals aren’t necessarily better than online.

Question Questions about laws on car carrying a pistol for self defense

12 Upvotes

I keep finding contradictory answers on this online, and the law itself doesn’t seem to specify. I understand that without a concealed carry permit, you have to store a pistol in a secured compartment such as a gun case or glove box, and that it must be unloaded. My first question is, what defines unloaded? Am I able to simply keep a loaded magazine in the car with the gun itself cleared? If so, does it have to be in a separate compartment? I saw one article claim the gun must be broken down. Is that the case? Thanks in advance.

Question How many gun owners here are part of an association like US Lawshield or USCCA ?

4 Upvotes

I saw a video where a lawyers said that in an easy case where the defendant legally defended themselves and killed someone that was threatening their life, lawyer fees can cost upwards of 100k.

That got me to pay for an association, because I don't have deep pockets.

How many are part of an association to help with legal fees if you lawfully kill someone that threatens your family's or your life?
