Virginia sucks for a whole bunch of other non gun related reasons.

Do you mind elaborating on that, or was that all you wanted to say?
Yeah, what's wrong with Virginia? It didn't seem worth mentioning earlier but I did spend several years at Virginia Tech; I know Virginia fairly well and would definately consider relocating there. Is it the overpopulation and Liberal bent of Northern Virginia, or something else? Something in "real" Virginia that I'm not aware of? I'd trade Michigan for Virginia anytime.

Isn't 10mph over the speed limit considered reckless driving? Some people have had a day in jail for speeding with no prior driving record. Getting your car inspected every year must blow as well. The gun laws are attractive tho.

20mph is automatic arrest in VA
If you move to Maryland, the first thing you need to do is plan your escape.
I was born in Takoma Park and raised on the Eastern Shore, I was a Maryland taxpaying resident from 1985 to 2002, my vote didn't matter there. So I moved to a state that reflected my beliefs which was Montana, but I couldn't earn a decent living there.
Maryland does not care about the 2nd Amendment to our Consitution and is only limited in it's anti-gun agenda by probably the NRA lobbyists.
I truly believe this country needs to be redistricted with libs on one side and conservatives on the other, I know which side I'd move to.

You don't understand! If you die in Maryland, you die in REAL LIFE! 
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Huh....that's funny, I was under the impression that it was the individual citizens and firearms owners of Maryland as well as grassroots organizations like MSI and the MDShooters forum who were doing that, given that in the 20 or so times I've spoken at the general assembly I've never seen any representative of the NRA present.
Folks....you should be >encouraging< people that are firearms owners and those that care about their Constitutional rights to move to Maryland. This state is the front lines of the anti-gun legislation that is coming to your doorstep if it is successfully passed here.
What we stop here, probably won't show up in your legislature and, if it does show up where you are, it's likely to fail if it has not been successful here.

if you have a security clearance or some sort of in depth background investigation done for your job (e.g. judge, LE), most likely it WILL delay you for at least an hour or so, maybe longer. That's what two different FFL dealers said to me. And i am witness to it with my own gun purchasing, having bought over 10 guns so far since April and being delayed from an hour and a half/2 hous to 3 days.
for VA, northern VA sucks. They make you pay a "property" tax on your car within the counties of Loudon, Fairfax, Arlington, Prince William,and city of Alexandria. First time I came down to vA, I paid $285 the first year, now $230 the second year.
move to Stafford county if you can. That is the "up and coming" newest DC suburb that is bein rapidly developed.

Indeed, Maryland is a de facto single-party state. This means that only one political party controls government and holds effective power to the point where there is no effective opposition.
There are openly-democratic competitive elections and a few token members of an opposition party are tolerated.

I (and a good majority of the people I associate with in Virginia) either are govt workers, have security clearances, or are law enforcement. None of them have delays on their background checks regularly. I have heard the same "gun store rumors", but they just aren't true for me or the people I know. Maybe you are getting delayed for some other reason. If you have a common name or share a name with a person who can't buy a weapon that can cause delays.
I am not saying that there isn't some situation where one of the things you have listed could not cause a delay, but it will 100% surely NOT get you a delay every time. I have had one delay in the past 3 years, and bought a heck of a lot of guns.
Anything that is "common knowledge" at gun stores...watch out!
