  1. No, under no circumstances

  2. Yes, from all states

  3. Yes, but only from states with reciprocal agreements

  4. Yes, if the holder is just passing through Virginia

The correct answer is: Yes, but only from states with reciprocal agreements

Virginia does recognize Concealed Handgun Permits (CHP) from other states, but this recognition is based on reciprocal agreements. This means that Virginia will only recognize CHPs from states that have established agreements with Virginia regarding the recognition of each other's permits. It is important for permit holders to be aware of which states have reciprocity with Virginia to ensure they are legally carrying their concealed weapon when traveling out of state.
