Is it necessary to carry the Concealed Handgun Permit at all times when carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia?

  1. Yes, it must be carried at all times

  2. No, but you must have it accessible

  3. Yes, but only when carrying in public

  4. No, as long as you have a digital copy

The correct answer is: Yes, it must be carried at all times

You must carry your Concealed Handgun Permit at all times when carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia. While options B, C, and D may seem like valid alternatives, they are not the most complete answer. Option B states that the permit must be accessible, but that does not necessarily mean that you must carry it with you at all times. Option C specifies that the permit must be carried in public, but does not account for situations in which the handgun may be carried in a private or restricted area. Lastly, option D suggests that having a digital copy of the permit is sufficient, but this is not always the case as not all locations may accept digital copies. Therefore, A is the most accurate answer as it applies to all situations and necessary precautions for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia.
