1,102 people were denied purchase of gun during first month of Va.'s new one-handgun-per-month law | Virginia | richmond.com
About 59% of the Va guns denied purchase in July were because of the 1 gun a month law. More appropriately a 1 gun per 30 days. Alot was simply confusion over when the 30 day clock started.
Personally I think it is a stupid law and will not have any significant change in gun violance.
A few interesting points from the article.
Good job catching 242 people who shouldn't own firearms. I do so wonder what the other almost 500 denials were for.

The 1,102 gun purchase denials for exceeding the handgun limit accounted for 59% of all denials statewide in July, firearm transaction records show. Denials for having a felony conviction ranked a distant second, with 142. That was followed by denials for being a user of unlawful drugs, at 140.

It's good that an honest citizen is able to have a work around this poorly thought out law.Several gun dealers said the new law has also triggered a rise in the number of people who are acquiring concealed carry permits. Virginians with valid permits are exempt from the law and can purchase more than one handgun per month
