Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) Practice Exam

What happens if your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is denied?

1. You can never reapply

2. You must wait a mandatory 5-year period before reapplying

3. You may appeal the decision

4. You must complete additional firearms training

The correct answer is: You may appeal the decision

If your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is denied, you may appeal the decision. This is the correct answer because Virginia law allows individuals to appeal the denial of a Concealed Handgun Permit. By appealing the decision, you can present additional information or evidence to support your application and request a review of the initial denial. It's important to follow the specific procedures outlined by the issuing authority for the appeal process. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the steps you can take if your permit is denied. You are not permanently barred from reapplying, there is no mandatory waiting period of 5 years, and completing additional firearms training is not the immediate course of action in the event of a denial.
