Virginia sets no statewide limit on possessing a magazine, and the new SB 749 ban is on hold. SB 749 (2026) bans the sale, transfer, or import of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds starting July 1, 2026, but preliminary injunctions have blocked it. A Washington County Circuit Court ruling made that block statewide (Santolla v. Katz, July 7, 2026; onset July 21, 2026), and the ban was also enjoined in Crump v. Katz (Lancaster County). The Attorney General is appealing, and no stay has been granted as of this update. Enforcement is currently halted statewide, and possession was never banned.
