What action should be taken if a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed?

  1. Report to the police

  2. Nothing, as it's not necessary to have a physical copy

  3. Apply for a replacement through the issuing Circuit Court

  4. You cannot replace it

The correct answer is: Apply for a replacement through the issuing Circuit Court

If a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed, the correct action to take is to apply for a replacement through the issuing Circuit Court. This is because in Virginia, a physical copy of the CHP is required to be carried along with identification when carrying a concealed handgun. By applying for a replacement through the issuing Circuit Court, you can obtain a new permit to ensure you are in compliance with the law. Reporting to the police or doing nothing are not the appropriate courses of action in this scenario.
