Effective 10/31/2025: Private Sale background checks are no longer required or offered in Virginia.
In compliance with the injunction and final order entered by the Circuit Court for the City of Lynchburg in Raul Wilson, Wyatt Lowman, Virginia Citizens Defense League, Gun Owners of America, Inc, and Gun Owners Foundation v. Colonel Matthew D. Hanley, CL25000582-00, October 29, 2025, “[t]he Virginia Department of State Police, and all law enforcement divisions, agencies, and officers within the Commonwealth, to include their successors or replacements in office, are hereby permanently enjoined and prohibited from administering; enforcing, or otherwise imposing upon any person the requirements of, the Act (Va. Code § 18.2-308.2:5).”
The Order prohibits the State Police from running, or assisting in the running, of private sale background checks pursuant to the provisions of § 18.2-308.2:5. As this is prohibited, Silver Eagle Group will not facilitate private party sales (but you don’t need us to, anyway).
