Is it hard to get a handgun in VA?

Question

does it cost too much or take to long to get a handgun in va?, what stuff do i need and are handguns expensive?

Answer 1

Here in Va. buying a handgun is just a matter of going to the gun shop, filling out the paper work and waiting for the call-in background check which takes just a few minutes. If you plan to carry it concealed, you need to take a course and file paper work and you should have the permit in less than a month. As for price, it will depend on what you decide to buy. Just remember cheap handguns are cheap for a reason. If you are getting one for protection, buy a quality firearm since your life might depend on it. Any handgun from Springfield Armory, Glock, Smith & Wesson, Berretta, HK, Taurus, Ruger etc. will last for a lifetime if taken care of properly. Just remember to wear eye and ear protection while shooting. Have fun and be safe shooting.

Answer 2

In most pro guns state, it takes about 10-15 minutes to get a handgun from an FFL dealer.I don't know about the state of VA. New handguns start at about $150 up to $1500.

Answer 3

It only takes five (5)* to eight (8)* minutes in Pennsylvania.* I don't know about Virgina. When you purchase one buy used and save $$$$$$$$$.* The new ones don't shoot any better than a used one.* Nothing less than a 357 Magnum because you can also shoot 38 caliber ammo in it.* You get two (2)* guns for the price of one (1)*. Great caliber for self defense, Hunting & target shooting.** It is a genuine man stopper.* I recommend either Smith & Wesson or Colt Brands.* I have both.* Its not what you pay for something that matters, its what you get for what you pay.* I don't know if its true, but I heard it was real easy to purchase handguns in Virginia.*

Answer 4

price depends on the model. and its hard to get a handgun everywhere. I think someplaces the waiting time may differ. But there is a waiting period. You must pass a background check and in some states you cannot owe federal debts.
