Relocating

[stacks3700]

Planning to move my family from Maryland to VA Beach by summer of 2018, looking for some helpful tips or advice (Gun transfer process, Gun Laws, Good And bad Neighborhoods, etc.) Anything helps.

Step one is getting out of Maryland.

The rest of the move is gravy.

Good luck on your relocation to a free state.

you don't have to do anything legally as far as VA is concerned. have fun in America.

get your VA CHP as soon as you get moved.

no waiting period.

Curious if there is a mechanism in place to have records deleted, ie registered firearms, HQL, W&C, designated collector?

Very straightforward for the guns. A friend of mine got his carry permit in Norfolk in three days. Fairfax took about 12 to get me mine. A carry permit lifts most of the few restrictions we have, like being able to carry a pistol with more than ten rounds or a threaded barrel in the few jurisdictions where they're restricted or being able to conceal carry a loaded handgun on National Forest or WMA land where there's a general prohibition on loaded firearms outside of hunting.

And OC is legal

Yes. You can get a non resident permit now and then get a change of address card from VSP after you move.

Any NFA stuff in play here?

I was not aware of a ten round limit. It was 20.

statute

[swinokur]

[swinokur]

there are on line video training sites that will work, but I don't like them. get hands on training from a competent NRA instructor.

JMO.

I would recommend getting a UT or FL nonres now instead of a VA nonres now. That way you have two carry permits when you move down there and get a VA resident permit instead of just one. There are also a few states that one gets but not the other.

Whoops yeah, meant to say 20.

 

[swinokur]

Having a a VA permit gets you GFSZA protection while in VA. UT or FL permits do not.

just an FYI

 

[stacks3700]

so this may be a dumb question but is the NRA class acceptable for multiple applications ?

You have a 30 day waiting period after you get a VA drivers license before you can purchase a firearm in VA. Just FYI after that your good to go.
