Can a non-resident apply for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Yes, if they are U.S. citizens

  2. Yes, but only if they work in Virginia

  3. No, non-residents cannot apply

  4. Yes, but they must have a valid permit from their state

The correct answer is: Yes, but they must have a valid permit from their state

Non-residents can apply for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, but they must meet certain requirements. One of the requirements is to have a valid permit from their state of residence. This helps ensure that the individual has already undergone background checks and training in their own state before applying for a permit in Virginia. This reciprocal agreement allows non-residents to carry a concealed handgun in Virginia as long as they have a valid permit from their state of residence.
