What disqualifies someone from receiving a CHP in Virginia?

Having a DUI conviction within the past year
Prior military service
A felony conviction
All of the above

The correct answer is: A felony conviction

A felony conviction disqualifies someone from receiving a Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) in Virginia. Felony convictions are considered serious offenses and individuals with such convictions are not deemed eligible to possess firearms for the safety of the public. Having a DUI conviction within the past year can also be a disqualifying factor, but it is not as serious as a felony conviction. Prior military service does not automatically disqualify someone from receiving a CHP in Virginia. Military service members are often well-trained in handling firearms and may meet the requirements for a CHP as long as they do not have any disqualifying factors like felony convictions.
