Thanks for the info guys. I do look on VAGT but there usually aren't too many G19s available in NoVA. I see lots of guns in Richmond, SW VA and the Hampton/VB area. I prefer FTF sales to save the FFL fee and shipping which combined can easily add 10-13% to the cost of a Glock.

Mother and son were legit. Mom even had carry permit and NRA range card, which I thought was pretty cool.

Went to the gun show in Chantilly this weekend. One dealer selling Glock mags for $20 was completely out of G19 mags. They could be had for $25 at another table though. I'll wait. I hadn't been to the show for a couple of years but the prices were still all over the place. Ammo wasn't cheap, Walmart has better prices for common calibers. Glocks on one table were $500 and two tables away were $540. Just bizarre. Who buys from the dealer charging $40 more?

Meant to start new thread and not tack on here. Removed content and started new thread.

I found somebody who is selling a G19 on a different gun board but it turns out the guy is active duty and stationed in FL. He says the gun is at his mother's jewelry shop and that she can handle the sale for him.

My question is this. If his Mom has a current VA DL am I good to go for completing a private purchase? That is, can she sell a gun on behalf of somebody else?

He remains a resident of his home state. If that is Va. and he hasn't changed residency on purpose, it sounds legal to me. regardless, if you receive the gun from a Va. Resident in Va., I don't see a law being broken. The most important points are that the firearm is already in Va. and it is being received by a Va. resident, from a Va. resident, in Va.

If he's a Virginia resident and you're a Virginia resident, and the transaction is taking place in Virginia, then it's legal. Doesn't matter where he happens to be at the moment, and it doesn't matter that he's conducting the transaction through an agent. I'd want a signed bill of sale form, though, such as that available on my website, or have his agent give you a notarized special power of attorney authorizing her to sell his gun for him.

Oh, and by the way, never ask police for information about what the law is. That's not their job, they're not trained for it, and some of the time what they tell you will be flat-out wrong.

Thank you for the sanity check. This post should be part of a sticky.

If his mom is doing the sale, she is the one selling the gun, so why the heck does it matter who the guy is or where he is from?

For all purposes isn't his mother the seller?
