Carry laws are defined by the state you live in. In a few states, there are no restrictions whatsoever, while in others -- on the other extreme -- carry is illegal. For the majority, some restrictions apply. Check your local laws.

Do you need a gun license in Virginia?

Virginia does not require a license to purchase a gun, nor to possess one. A Concealed Handgun License IS required to carry a concealed handgun in public places if you are not a law enforcement officer, or one of the few others permitted to carry concealed. If you are 21, can own a handgun legally, can pass a background check, and demonstrate that you have had adequate training in firearms, Virginia will issue a concealed handgun license.

Yes, as long as you are also a resident of Florida. Sorry, I should have also said this: You can buy a handgun from a private party if you don't live in Florida, but to be legal, the owner would have to ship the gun to a dealer in your state, and you would have to pick it up there. There will almost always be a charge for that.
