What might disqualify an applicant from receiving a Virginia CHP?

  1. Prior misdemeanor convictions

  2. Prior felony convictions

  3. Lack of firearm safety training

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Prior felony convictions

The correct answer is B: Prior felony convictions. Having prior felony convictions disqualifies an applicant from receiving a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). Felony convictions are serious offenses that raise concerns about an individual's suitability to possess a concealed handgun. Misdemeanor convictions, while less severe than felonies, may not necessarily disqualify an applicant, depending on the specific circumstances. Additionally, firearm safety training is typically a requirement for obtaining a CHP but the lack of it alone would not disqualify an applicant.
