What kind of firearm training is required for a Virginia CHP?

  1. Military training only

  2. NRA-approved firearms training

  3. Any state-certified firearms training

  4. No specific training is required

The correct answer is: Any state-certified firearms training

For a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP), any state-certified firearms training is required. This means that the training must be recognized and approved by the state of Virginia to ensure that permit holders are adequately prepared and knowledgeable about firearm safety and laws. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A. Military training only is not the sole requirement for obtaining a Virginia CHP. While military training may provide valuable experience, specific state-certified firearms training is necessary for a CHP. B. NRA-approved firearms training is a reputable option and may be valuable for firearm knowledge and safety; however, it is not the only type of training accepted for a Virginia CHP. D. The statement that no specific training is required is incorrect. Virginia law mandates that individuals seeking a CHP must complete state-certified firearms training.
