Fairfax Sterling
is it legal to kill or hunt small animals like chipmunks in virginia?
i live in sterling virginia near fairfax and i have a daisy bb gun (red ryder) and is it legal to hunt rabbits and birds and chipmunks??????
Yes. First, look out. You have stringent laws in the DC region of Virginia on pellet and BB gun discharges. In Fairfax you have to be at least 16 to even own one (http://www.wtop.com/?nid=25&sid=1147603). In fact, you’re in danger of having a BB/pellet gun treated as any other rifle there (see http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read.php?2,197472,197855,quote=1 where a poster has listed Fairfax local code). You are supposed to own twenty acres in your county to legally shoot on your own land in Fairfax County unless you’re in the Appendix J designated areas (forested lands). It’s up to a law enforcement officer or game officer to decide if your BB gun is simply a “rifle” in violation of law if you’re not at a range or shooting on a smaller piece of property. It’s not a joke. You could be arrested. (I’m not for this view; I’m just warning you that it’s possible under the law and that VA gun forums talk about this.)
It’s illegal to kill game animals out of season and without a hunting license. It’s also illegal to kill song birds.
Edit. Oh, and if that’s not enough, VA has some of the most liberal brandishing laws in the country. You’re living in a liberal area of VA. If someone sees you with your innocent Red Ryder and calls the police you can be cited for brandishing a weapon. Be careful. “You can put your eye out with that thing.”

The Top 10 Model Train Shops in Virginia and West Virginia
For the past year I’ve been compiling a list of model train stores for my model railroading website. These shops all look like a lot of fun to visit, but what are the most popular? Here is a list for the states of Virginia and West Virginia.
The most popular model railroading shops (based on online chatter) in Virginia and West Virginia are:
10. Rick’s Hobby Shop in Roanoke, Virginia
9. Chesterfield Hobbies in Midlothian, Virginia
8. Riders Hobby Shop in Sterling, Virginia
7. Whistle Stop Hobbies in Alexandria, Virginia
6. Trains Etc. in Lorton, Virginia
5. Engine House Trains in Virginia Beach, Virginia
4. Main Street Trains in Barboursville, West Virginia
3. KMA Junction in Manassas, Virginia
2. Piper Hobby in Chantilly, Virginia
…and the most popular shop for model trains in Virginia and West Virginia is…
1. Locust Grove Trains in Locust Grove, Virginia
Hobby shops not quite making my top 10 were Awesome RC and Hobbies in Fredericksburg, Virginia; Craftech Hobby Shop in Norfolk, Virginia; Davis Hobby Supplies in Portsmouth, Virginia; Debbies RC World in Chesapeake, Virginia; Dunn’s Toy and Hobby in Manassas, Virginia; Hobby Works in Fairfax, Virginia; Leesburg Hobbies and Collectibles in Leesburg, Virginia; Rail Yard Hobby Shop in Roanoke, Virginia; Staunton Trains and Hobbies in Staunton, Virginia; Train Depot in Manassas, Virginia; Train Town Toy and Hobby in Ashland, Virginia; Walt’s Hobby Shop in Petersburg, Virginia; Cain’s Trains and Hobbies in Bunker Hill, West Virginia; Fountain Hobby Center in Charleston, West Virginia; Kid Country Toys in Charleston, West Virginia; Nitro Hobby and Craft Center in Nitro, West Virginia; Patrick’s Trains in Wheeling, West Virginia; Stephens Outdoor Railways in Vienna, West Virginia; and West Virginia Hobbies and Crafts in Teays, West Virginia.
So, there are lots of great model railroading shops from all over Virginia and West Virginia, but clearly Virginia dominated the list with nine in the top ten. This isn’t too surprising as Virginia is a bigger state with a bigger population and more hobby shops than West Virginia.
When in Virginia and West Virginia be sure to visit some of the excellent railroading museums including Eastern Shore Railway Museum in Parksley, Virginia; Fairfax Station Museum Railroad Museum in Fairfax Station, Virginia; Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia; Princeton Railroad Museum in Princeton, West Virginia; West Virginia Railroad Museum in Elkins, West Virginia; and Williamson Area Railroad Museum in Williamson, West Virginia.
I compiled this list by searching for the hobby shops listed on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online. I further screened this list to include only pages that mentioned model railroading.
