Are background checks required for private gun sales in Virginia?

  1. Yes, always

  2. No, never

  3. Yes, but only at gun shows

  4. Yes, but with some exceptions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with some exceptions

Background checks for private gun sales in Virginia are required, but there are some exceptions to the rule. For example, individuals who already have a valid concealed carry permit or who are purchasing a gun from certain family members are exempt from the requirement. Options A and C are incorrect because they both suggest that background checks are always required, which is not the case. Option B is incorrect because background checks are required, just with some exceptions.
