MAJOR BREAKING NEWS! 6/3/26

VCDL and GOA have big win in court over UBCs!

Today, Lynchburg’s Judge Yeatts told the Virginia State Police (VSP) that his permanent statewide injunction against Universal Background Checks (UBCs) is still very much in effect. He denied our motion to charge the VSP with contempt of court but made it quite clear that he expects all law enforcement in Virginia to comply with his order.

PLEASE READ!!! Chandlers Fi****ms & Estates does not provide legal advice. Customers should consult a qualified attorney or legal professional for guidance regarding the interpretation and application of any federal, state, or local laws.

We understand that the recent legislative changes have created uncertainty and concern for many Virginia residents. However, we ask that customers remain respectful of our staff and their time. Our employees are here to assist with transactions and store-related matters, but they are not in a position to debate legislation or provide legal interpretations.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to serve all customers efficiently during this period of transition. Please read our transfer policy updates below.

TRANSFER POLICY UPDATE:

Effective July 1, Virginia’s assault weapon legislation (HB 217/SB 749) takes effect. Consequently, any fi****ms or magazines covered under the law that have not been transferred to the purchaser prior to that date will be ineligible for transfer.

As the deadline approaches, we expect a substantial increase in background check requests. This may result in longer processing times, particularly for individuals who typically experience delayed approvals. Customers are encouraged to plan accordingly.

Incoming Firearm Transfers

We will STOP accepting incoming transfers of affected fi****ms after June 22. All qualifying fi****ms must arrive at our facility no later than that date. Any shipment received after June 22 will be returned at the transferee’s expense, and applicable transfer fees will still apply.

Effective immediately we will no longer accept any Short-Barreled Rifle (SBR) and Short-Barreled Shotgun (SBS) transfers.

Please note that transfers of affected fi****ms to licensed dealers or to recipients outside Virginia will remain lawful after July 1.

Things we hear on a daily basis 🤌🏻

05/18/2026

Since it was posted on Ammoland we feel we can share, Chandler's is participating in the court case to overturn the AWB law the Governor signed. The case will be presented in the Lancaster County Courthouse. This is the same group that was able to overturn the Private Sales Background Check law last Fall. Please read the article at this link...

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed SB 749 into law on Thursday, May 14, making Virginia one of the latest states to enact an “assault weapons” ban—joining at least ten others, with Rhode Island’s own ban also set to take effect July 1, 2026.
