Defender utility

Virginia defenders: this is the Senate chapter of the same AWB/LCM transaction ban as HB 217 (id 12), not the public-carry statute (HB 1524 / SB 727). Demand proof (1) the arm or magazine meets the statutory definition, (2) the charged act is a post-effective prohibited transaction, (3) no exemption. Check injunction status before treating as live. bank_signal queued; do not double-count as a separate charge from HB 217.

Who this is for. VA PDs on AWB/LCM sale-transfer calendars (same statute as HB 217) — not a California charge.
