Who issues a Concealed Handgun Permit in Virginia?

Virginia State Police
Local Sheriff's Office
Circuit Court
Department of Fish and Wildlife

The correct answer is: Circuit Court

In Virginia, a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) is issued by the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court is responsible for processing and approving applications for concealed handgun permits. It is important to note that the other options are not responsible for issuing CHPs in Virginia. The Virginia State Police conducts background checks as part of the application process, the Local Sheriff's Office may provide fingerprinting services and character references, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife does not have authority to issue concealed handgun permits.
