  2. Cannot consume alcohol while carrying

  3. Must carry the handgun in a holster

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Cannot consume alcohol while carrying

One common restriction for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia is that individuals are typically prohibited from consuming alcohol while carrying. This restriction is in place to ensure that individuals who are carrying a concealed handgun remain responsible and are able to make sound judgments in the event of an emergency. It is important to always be aware of the laws and regulations regarding carrying a concealed handgun in your state to avoid any legal issues or risks. Options A, C, and D are not correct: - While it is generally prohibited to carry a concealed handgun in certain public buildings, such as courthouses or schools, this restriction does not apply to all public buildings. - Although it is recommended and safer to carry a handgun in a holster, it may not be explicitly required by law in Virginia. - Option D stating "All of the above" is not the correct answer in this case.
