Can a person with a protective order against them in Virginia still obtain a CHP?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if the order does not specifically mention firearms

  4. Only with special permission from a judge

The correct answer is: No

In Virginia, a person with a protective order against them is not eligible to obtain a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). Protective orders are issued by the court to protect individuals from violence, threats, or harm, and it indicates a potential risk or danger. As a result, individuals subject to protective orders are prohibited from obtaining a CHP due to safety concerns. It is important for the safety of everyone involved that individuals with protective orders are not granted permits to carry concealed handguns.
