Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: possesion of gun

Part of your message is cut off. If you just want to buy a gun, you go to a dealer, fill out the required paperwork, the state police will run your record and if your record does not come back with anything prohibiting possession of a gun, the dealer may sell it to you. I believe the foregoing takes 3 to 5 days.

If you are referring to a permit to carry a concealed weapon, you must apply for a permit in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court where you reside and a judge must approve the application.

Project Exile is a program by which someone found guilty of possessing an illegal gun would be sentenced to serve five years in federal prison.
