Under current law, only licensed dealers must obtain such a check. The bill also requires that the promoter of a firearms show provide vendors with access to licensed dealers who will conduct the criminal history record information check. Amends § 54.1-4200, § 54.1-4201.1, of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
