Virginia laws concerning folding stocks and 'hi-cap' mags


Recommended Posts

If I remember correctly the law in VA is that you can't have a shotgun with a rotary feeding device with 12 rounds of capacity AND a folding stock. I guess it was originally written to exclude the Streetsweeper.

 

But you might want to look further but I think that is the gist.

Thanks!

 

A strange combination indeed and I thought it was so unusual that I was missing something. I wonder why they just didn't specify the Streetsweeper and be done with it. Too simple maybe.

 

I guess the folder on my AK-74 with 30 round mags should be safe when I go to a range in VA.

We've looked at that law extensively, and even asked several people in state gov to get a definition.

We've gotten no answers.

However, as I recall, the law specifically bans the Streetsweeper, as well as banning the possession or sale of a spring driven rotary feeding device for a shotgun that will hold more than 10rds.

I can look at it again, but I don't remember the part about the magazine and a folding stock.

Thanks Everyone,

 

Digging deeper I am now finding some restrictions regarding ammo. Supposedly anything, including FMJ, is not to have a steel core which includes most Russian surplus ammunition. I don't know of any affordable ammo for a Mosin or AK-74 that does not have a mild steel core.

 

Is Virginia not particularly fond of ComBloc stuff in general or am reading this wrong?
