Yes — we’re tracking this closely. Virginia’s assault firearm and magazine ban technically took effect July 1, but the courts have blocked its enforcement. On July 8 a Washington County judge expanded his injunction to apply statewide, and that broader block takes effect July 21, 2026 — barring the State Police and every Commonwealth’s Attorney from enforcing the ban. We’re continuing to monitor for any developments between now and then, including the state’s promised appeal.

In the meantime, we’re continuing to operate with caution. Until the picture is clearer, we are not accepting incoming transfers of any firearm that meets Virginia’s “assault firearm” definition, any stripped AR-pattern lower, or any firearm with a magazine over 15 rounds. (Consignment is a little different — we can still take these items to sell on consignment, but we can’t transfer one back to you if it doesn’t sell.) The injunction is still preliminary and could be narrowed, paused, or reversed on appeal — and anything acquired during this window may not be grandfathered if the ban is later enforced. Playing it safe protects both you and us.

⚠️ This may change once the statewide injunction takes effect and we know more. If you’re waiting on one of these items, please check back after July 21. And a heads-up: even with enforcement blocked, a firearms attorney cautions that purchases made during this window may not be grandfathered if the ban is upheld — so it’s not a clear green light.
