What happens if your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed?

You must wait for the renewal period to get a new one
You cannot replace it; you must reapply for a new permit
You must report it to the police but do not need a replacement
You must notify the issuing circuit court to request a replacement

The correct answer is: You must notify the issuing circuit court to request a replacement

If your Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed, the correct course of action is to notify the issuing circuit court to request a replacement. It is essential to inform the issuing authority so they can issue you a new permit to replace the lost or damaged one. This process ensures that you have a valid permit for legal purposes. Option A is incorrect because waiting for the renewal period is not the appropriate action in this situation. Option B is incorrect as you do not need to reapply for a new permit, but rather request a replacement. Option C is also incorrect as it is essential to have a valid permit, and simply reporting it to the police without seeking a replacement does not address the issue of not having a permit in your possession when required.
