What is the penalty for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia without a permit?

  1. A misdemeanor charge

  2. A fine

  3. A felony charge

  4. Mandatory community service

The correct answer is: A felony charge

Carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia without a permit is a serious offense and could lead to a felony charge. This means that if found guilty, the individual could face a stiffer penalty, such as imprisonment or large fines, as opposed to a misdemeanor charge or a fine. It is important to note that in Virginia, concealed handguns are only allowed with a valid permit and carrying one without a permit is a violation of the law. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the severity of the offense.
