Which type of ammunition is prohibited for use in a concealed handgun in Virginia?

Hollow-point
Armor-piercing
Soft-point
Full metal jacket

The correct answer is: Armor-piercing

Armor-piercing ammunition is prohibited for use in a concealed handgun in Virginia due to its ability to penetrate body armor and cause severe harm to law enforcement officers. This ammunition is designed to pierce metal targets and can pose a significant public safety risk, which is why it is restricted for use with concealed handguns in Virginia. Hollow-point, soft-point, and full metal jacket ammunition are not prohibited for use in a concealed handgun in Virginia.
