What is the consequence of carrying a concealed handgun into a prohibited area in Virginia?

  1. A warning for the first offense

  2. Mandatory community service

  3. Revocation of the Concealed Handgun Permit

  4. A fine or imprisonment

The correct answer is: A fine or imprisonment

Carrying a concealed handgun into a prohibited area in Virginia is a serious offense and can result in a fine or imprisonment. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the severity of the consequences. A warning may potentially be given for a first offense, but it is not a guaranteed consequence. Community service may be assigned as part of a sentence for carrying a concealed handgun in a prohibited area, but it is not the only or primary consequence. And while revocation of the Concealed Handgun Permit is a possible consequence, it is not the most severe or certain outcome. Overall, choosing to carry a concealed handgun into a prohibited area in Virginia carries serious legal repercussions.
