What should a permit holder do if their Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed?

  1. Report to the local law enforcement agency

  2. Apply for a new permit as if it were the first time

  3. Notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement

  4. There is no recourse; the permit cannot be replaced

The correct answer is: Notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement

If a permit holder's Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed, the correct course of action is to notify the issuing circuit court and request a replacement. This is because the issuing circuit court is responsible for issuing and managing concealed handgun permits in Virginia, and they have the authority to provide a replacement permit in the event of loss or damage. Reporting to the local law enforcement agency (Option A) is not the correct action to take in this situation. Additionally, applying for a new permit as if it were the first time (Option B) is not necessary if the permit is just lost or destroyed and can be replaced. Lastly, the statement that there is no recourse and the permit cannot be replaced (Option D) is incorrect, as the issuing circuit court can issue a replacement permit.
