I have managed to find PDFs of Hening's Laws of Virginia, volumes 1-2, 4-13. There is a marvelous HTML version of all of Hening's Laws of Virginia out there, and it is really useful -- but primarily because of the nature of the project that I am doing (and yes, it is gun-related), I really need the original images, not someone's HTML-ized version of the text for volume 3.
I have been surprised at how difficult it is to actually find the various volumes in one place, and with one search string. The publication date is going to be 1819 to 1823 or so.
UPDATE: Found it!
My university law library has 3 volumes in hard-copy in their rare-books. Shall I inquire about their policy for letting me scan or photograph some sections?
