I don't think VT's "gun free" zone has the weight of law. That kind of stuff does have the weight of law in OH. But in VA, you cannot be arrested for carrying openly or concealed (with a permit, if concealed) on property where there's a sign saying "no guns allowed". I ignore these signs regularly, but try to not patronize such businesses if possible. If someone who works at the establishment sees you carrying, they can ask you to leave and refusing to do so will get you in trouble for trespassing. But the gun is totally legal. You can also carry in the VA state capitol bldg. and any state gov't. agency other than a courthouse or school. VA has been pretty good about cracking down on cities and counties that try to pass their own more restrictive gun laws.

Oh, and I buy most of my guns by mail via the Internet nowadays. I don't have an FFL, so I have to have my FFL fax a copy of his license to the seller who then mails it to him. When I go to pick up the gun, my FFL has to call the state police who then run my driver's licese # through the NICS while I fill out paperwork. Takes about 10 min. for everything and costs $27 per transfer. VA's one gun a month law also has an exemption for CCW holders. I always try to buy one gun a month. When that exemption becamse the law, I could buy as many as I want as often as I want. So I've bought three in one month before, but haven't bought any since Feb. Oh, my dad gave me five more two weeks ago. But that doesn't count.

Rick Lee... Well Mr. English teacher, let’s take a look at your post...
1) State abbreviations must be preceded by a period
2) Became is not spelled with an S
3) "But that doesn't count" is not a complete sentence
4) licese is not spelled correctly
5) "When that exemption becamse the law, I could buy as many as I want as often as I want." Is not a complete sentence either

Practice what you preach Jackass!
