The Clock Is Ticking:
July 1 Changes Everything
Virginia’s new assault firearm law takes effect July 1, 2026. We are now full and closed to new orders — this calendar is for customers whose firearms are already inbound or waiting for pickup. Get yours before the deadlines below.
Let’s be real with each other for a second. If you buy a firearm that becomes an “assault firearm” on July 1 and you don’t come in and finish your transfer by June 28 — you’re cutting it dangerously close, and if it isn’t in your hands by July 1, I am legally barred from handing it to you, even though you bought it before the deadline. The state law has no “but I bought it in time” exception. It doesn’t care that you forgot. It doesn’t care that you got busy.
I have extended my hours as far as I physically can — early mornings, late nights, weekends — to fit every single one of you in. I’ve sacrificed a lot to take care of my customers through all of this. Now I need you to meet me halfway: get your stuff, and get it on time.
And just so we’re clear 😅 — if you message me on July 1 asking about a transfer you sat on… I’ll be asleep. Or fishing. Definitely not answering. Don’t be that person.
I have opened every appointment slot I possibly can — but there are only so many, and they fill fast as July 1 nears. Please book early and plan your time to come in. If you wait, the slot you need may already be taken, and I cannot add hours that do not exist.
📅 Book My Pickup / AppointmentVirginia’s July 1 law changes turned our shop into a UPS Store on Black Friday. We are physically running out of vault space and more shipments are arriving every day. We can no longer hold completed transfers while waiting on future arrivals.
Translation: please don’t make us play firearm Tetris. If your transfer is ready, book a pickup ASAP — we’ll high-five you on the way out the door. 🤝
Virginia gun laws are changing July 1, 2026. After July 1, assault firearm transfers end and Virginia’s new restrictions take effect. Outdoor Arms is now full and no longer accepting new incoming transfers — if your firearm is already on the way or in our vault, please complete your pickup by June 28. We reopen for new transfers July 15.
