Before applying for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, individuals are required to complete a firearms safety or training course offered by a certified instructor. This training course must be approved by the Department of State Police or be a course offered by a national gun advocacy organization that certifies instructors. Therefore, Option A is the correct choice. The other options, such as an online firearms training course (Option B) or a hunting safety course (Option C), do not fulfill the specific training requirement for obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit.
