What happens if I am denied during a Virginia State Background Check?

If your initial application is denied, it may simply be a misunderstanding that can be resolved by collaborating with local or state police to clarify the cause of the denial.

In times where you are deemed a prohibited person ineligible to receive the firearm, Quartermaster Arms will not be able to transfer the firearm to you or anyone else.
