Is a background check required every time a CHP holder purchases a firearm in Virginia?

Yes, without exception
No, CHP holders are exempt
Yes, but only for the first purchase
No, but the seller must verify the CHP is valid

The correct answer is: No, CHP holders are exempt

A background check is required every time a non-CHP holder purchases a firearm in Virginia. CHP holders are exempt from this requirement because they have already gone through a background check as part of the process of obtaining their CHP. This means that they have been deemed eligible to possess a firearm, so they do not need to undergo a background check every time they make a purchase. The other options are incorrect because they either state that a background check is required for CHP holders (option A and C) or that the seller must verify the validity of the CHP (option D), which is not true.
