Re: Moscow surplus and seized weapons policy

It is consecutive.  Virginia is using a federal law that is currently on the
books to do it.  After the person is convicted by the state, he/she is
handled over to the federals for trial on the gun possession charge, no
double jeaprody--two differenct charges.
