Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

How long is a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit valid?

1. 2 years

2. 5 years

3. 10 years

4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is valid for 5 years. This means that once issued, the permit allows the individual to carry a concealed handgun in Virginia for a period of 5 years before it needs to be renewed. It's important for permit holders to keep track of their permit's expiration date to ensure they are in compliance with the law. Option A is incorrect because a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is valid for longer than 2 years. Option C is incorrect as well because the permit is valid for 5 years, not 10 years. Option D is incorrect because the permit is not valid indefinitely; it has a specific expiration date and needs to be renewed after 5 years.
