James G. · Answer

No, only Long Guns Chris. Handguns will have to be purchased in or sent to an FFL in your state of residence for transfer.

Randy I. · Answer

No by Federal law you can not purchase a handgun across state lines. a long gun yes you could but a handgun would be illegal and would have to be shipped to a VA FFL to do the transfer. This law is tough on me as I live on the VA line (in NC) and have many more dealers in VA than NC
