Which of the following locations is NOT a prohibited place for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia?

  1. School properties

  2. Religious places

  3. Private businesses that allow concealed carry

  4. Federal government facilities

The correct answer is: Private businesses that allow concealed carry

Private businesses that allow concealed carry are not prohibited locations for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia. In fact, in Virginia, private businesses have the right to determine whether or not firearms are allowed on their premises. This means that as long as you have the owner's or manager's permission, you can carry a concealed handgun in a private business that allows it. On the other hand, school properties, federal government facilities, and religious places are generally prohibited locations for carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia. It is important to familiarize yourself with the specific laws and regulations regarding concealed carry in these locations to avoid any legal issues.
