From one of the VCDL Alerts:
"The following laws become effective on Friday, July 1 2016:
...
* No second ID will be required when purchasing a firearm. For so-called “assault firearms,” the requirement for proof of citizenship is gone."
I don't have the info handy on which bill number it was...
From our friend, Delegate Lingamfelter.
TFred
HB 810 Assault weapon; transfer of firearm, proof of citizenship.
Transfer of assault weapon; proof of citizenship. Makes consistent the type of identification and other documentation that a purchaser of a firearm must present when purchasing any type of firearm from a licensed dealer by removing the additional requirement for the purchase of an assault weapon that a person who purchases such a weapon must present proof of citizenship. The bill does not alter the provisions prohibiting the sale of assault firearms to noncitizens or persons who have not been lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
