Virginia's universal background check law has been struck down. On October 16, 2025, Judge F. Patrick Yeatts of the Twenty-Fourth Judicial Circuit issued a permanent injunction against Virginia's universal background check law in the case of Wilson v. Hanley https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/...ck-law-n1230293

Update, the assistant attourney general yesterday said that the proposed order that VCDL attourneys sent was not correct and to change it. Vcdl attorney Browne re wrote it and sent it back up yesterday. The new order he sent ONLY REGARDS TO 18-20 year olds in the private sale of HANDGUNS ONLY. Someone correct me if I am wrong. https://foundation.gunowners.org/litigation/wilson-v-hanley/

You’re wrong. The judge struck down the entire law, for all types of guns and for all ages. The AG’s office is gnashing their teeth and dragging out the entry of the order, but the judge’s decision is crystal clear.

Could someone confirm to me, with legit sources, that it's okay to do face to face private transactions now? Absolutely want to verify before doing any of them.

Yes VSP is not allowing any background checks for private sales to be run anymore.


https://vsp.virginia.gov/services/firearms/


Quote:
Private Sale Background Checks No Longer Available / Required
In compliance with the injunction and final order entered by the Circuit Court for the City of Lynchburg in Raul Wilson, Wyatt Lowman, Virginia Citizens Defense League, Gun Owners of America, Inc, and Gun Owners Foundation v. Colonel Matthew D. Hanley, CL25000582-00, October 29, 2025, “[t]he Virginia Department of State Police, and all law enforcement divisions, agencies, and officers within the Commonwealth, to include their successors or replacements in office, are hereby permanently enjoined and prohibited from administering; enforcing, or otherwise imposing upon any person the requirements of, the Act
(Va. Code § 18.2-308.2:5
)



The Order prohibits the State Police from running, or assisting in the running, of private sale background checks pursuant to the provisions of § 18.2-308.2:5

Virginia law currently does not require, and VSP will not provide, criminal history background checks for the private sale of firearms.

Amazing! Thank you. I'm glad we are out from under that restriction (for now at least).
