What must an applicant successfully complete before applying for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. A physical fitness test

  2. A state-approved firearms training course

  3. An interview with local law enforcement

  4. A hunter safety course

The correct answer is: A state-approved firearms training course

Before applying for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, an applicant must successfully complete a state-approved firearms training course. This course is essential to ensure that the applicant knows how to safely handle and use a firearm, understands the laws related to carrying a concealed handgun, and is aware of the responsibilities that come with carrying a concealed weapon. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. A physical fitness test is not a requirement for obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. While it is important to be physically capable of handling a firearm safely, this is not a formal requirement for the permit application process. C. While an interview with local law enforcement may be conducted as part of the background check process for a concealed handgun permit, it is not a requirement that must be completed before applying for the permit. D. A hunter safety course is not the same as a state-approved firearms training course for a concealed handgun permit. While a hunter safety course may cover aspects of firearm safety, it is not specifically tailored to the requirements for carrying a concealed handgun.
