Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

Virginia CHPs (Concealed Handgun Permits) can be temporarily suspended if the holder is under criminal investigation. This is because the purpose of a CHP is to allow individuals to legally carry a concealed handgun for self-defense purposes. If an individual is under criminal investigation, it raises concerns about their eligibility to carry a concealed handgun. The suspension is a temporary measure until the investigation is completed and a determination is made about the individual's eligibility to hold a CHP. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because suspension of a Virginia CHP is a legal measure and can be done by state or federal law enforcement through a court order.
