Which of the following is a requirement for obtaining a CHP in Virginia?

  1. Completion of any firearm training or safety course

  2. Passing a Virginia-specific firearms law exam

  3. A recommendation from a current CHP holder

  4. Proof of Virginia residency for at least 1 year

The correct answer is: Completion of any firearm training or safety course

To obtain a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) in Virginia, completion of any firearm training or safety course is a requirement. This training ensures that permit holders are knowledgeable about firearms safety and laws, promoting responsible gun ownership. Passing a Virginia-specific firearms law exam or providing a recommendation from a current CHP holder are not mandatory requirements for obtaining a CHP in Virginia. Additionally, while proof of Virginia residency is necessary, it doesn't specify a minimum duration of 1 year as stated in option D.
