Who is eligible to apply for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Virginia residents only

  2. U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents

  3. Anyone who owns property in Virginia

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents

The correct answer is B. U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents are eligible to apply for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. This requirement ensures that individuals applying for the permit have legal status within the United States. Virginia residents only (Option A) is not the correct answer because U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents who live in other states but meet Virginia's requirements are also eligible to apply. Option C, which states that anyone who owns property in Virginia is eligible, is incorrect as property ownership alone does not make someone eligible for a Concealed Handgun Permit in Virginia. Lastly, Option D, which states "All of the above," is not the correct answer because, as mentioned earlier, the eligibility criteria for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is specifically for U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
