What states have “One-Handgun-Per-Month” laws?
In 1975, South Carolina became the first state to limit purchases of handguns to one per month. In response to their growing reputation as the number one gun trafficking state to the northeastern United States, Virginia passed a “One-Handgun-Per-Month” law that went into effect on July 1, 1993. In 1996, Maryland became the third state to limit handgun purchases to one per month and in August of 1998, California became the fourth.
