A VA resident must buy a pistol in VA under federal law. So you can give it to a MD FFL who can ship it to a VA FFL or simply give it directly to the VA FFL for sale.
Couldn’t he also ship directly to the VA FFL? Or does it have to be hand delivered (or shipped from another FFL)?
... I don’t believe in selling guns.
EDIT: I don’t see anything on the ATF site (but didn’t read the entire Brady bill) that suggest a non-licensee cannot ship a handgun to any licensee. If that was the case many person to person (via an 01) Gun Broker sales would be illegal, and even though not for the intent of a transfer wouldn’t shipping back to a manufacture for a warranty repair also be illegal unless there are different rules for 07s vs 01s.

Yes. He (presumably an MD resident) transfers it to the dealer (the VA FFL), the VA FFL runs the VSP version of NICS on you, and transfers to you (presumably a VA resident).
Depending on the FFL, you might get dinged for both their transfer in and out fee.
Both presumptions are correct.

That is something that you should negotiate with you VA FFL, before you show up to the transfer. You may have to shop around, usually the FFL that you are a regular customer of will give you the best deal on transfers.
If not you may want to find another favorite "go to" FFL.

No one answered, but yes, you may legally ship the handgun to a VA FFL, if they will accept it from a non-FFL. Some will, some won't.
You cannot ship via USPS, as handguns are only FFL to FFL with them. FedEx and UPS require them to be shipped overnight.

I'm pondering this. I've been asked more questions. I was avoiding this, but will clarify. I hate all this ********, that's an aside.
I bought my wife a handgun after she when through training. She passed the background. yeah. Well she did want to give it back when we lived in Maryland. I had no HQL. 
Now I live in Virginia. She is trying to give it back again. Can she just cross into VA and hand it to me now?
I love Government.

Short answer, no.
Long answer, if you can find an FFL that will take it from her and do the 4473 and not charge you too much for the transfer, then yes. Otherwise, she will need to give it to an FFL in MD to transfer to an FFL in VA to transfer to you.
