Is it necessary to carry the permit when in possession of a concealed handgun in Virginia?

Yes, always
No, never
Only when traveling out of state
Only upon request by law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, always

Yes, always carrying the permit when in possession of a concealed handgun in Virginia is necessary. This is because Virginia law requires individuals to have their valid Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) with them whenever they are carrying a concealed handgun. Failure to present the permit upon request by a law enforcement officer may result in legal consequences. Therefore, it is essential for individuals to carry their CHP at all times when carrying a concealed handgun in Virginia. Option B is incorrect because individuals are legally required to have their CHP with them. Option C is also incorrect because the permit must be carried at all times within Virginia, not just when traveling out of state. Option D is not the best choice because while law enforcement may request to see the permit, it is not the only time one should have it on their person.
