What constitutes proof of handgun competency in Virginia?

  1. A driver's license

  2. Completion of an NRA handgun safety course

  3. A high school diploma

  4. A written test passed at the DMV

The correct answer is: Completion of an NRA handgun safety course

In Virginia, completion of an NRA handgun safety course constitutes proof of handgun competency. This option is the correct answer because the Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) requires individuals to demonstrate their competency with a handgun by completing a state-approved handgun training or safety course. This requirement ensures that individuals have the necessary knowledge and skills to handle firearms safely. The other options are incorrect: A driver's license does not demonstrate handgun competency. A high school diploma is not equivalent to proof of handgun competency. Passing a written test at the DMV does not specifically prove competency in handling a handgun.
