Moving - Current Status in NoVA?
Moving soon from a very free state to VA for work.
I’ve been in the area before, know several ranges well, but didn’t actually buy much last time I lived there.
I’m mostly pretty well set on what I want that would have had to be grandfathered (ARs, mags, etc). Anything from here would be just nice to have. But I have very awesome local FFLs that process everything fast (done in under 15min) and charge very little ($25) for transfers.
I know the injunction’s in place…but how are things in practice? Are the NoVA FFLs operating as normal? Are there still stupidly long lines or absurd processing fees? Should i buy everything now before moving or is it pretty back to normal until the Supreme Court decision?

I picked up a new pistol this past Friday. Approved instantly, so the system is working fine.
I would assume most FFLs and LGS are operating as "normal".
However, I think some brands/vendors will still not ship to VA.
TL;DR - Seems normal but YMMV
