Collected for publication in 1809 by William Waller Hening, the Statutes at Large represents the full body of Virginia law from 1609 through 1778. The statutes contain numerous provisions related to guns and gun control, generally in relation to the following categories:
Foreigners
- 1609, Second Charter - Colonists "shall and lawfully may . . . for their defence and safety, encounter, expluse, repel and resist, by force or arms, as well as by sea and land, all ways and means whatsoever, all and every such person and persons whatsoever, as (without the special license of the said treasurer and company, and their successors), shall attempt to inhabit" the colony or plantation. [Volume 1, p94]
Misc.
- 1629, Acts of the General Assembly - "ALl men that are fitting to beare armes, shall bringe their peices to the church uppon payne of every offence" to pay 2 lb. of tobacco. (Note - how much was that worth?) [Vol. 1, p 174]
