What is required to carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle within Virginia?

  1. The handgun must be visible at all times

  2. The handgun must be locked in the glove compartment

  3. A valid CHP

  4. Both A and C

The correct answer is: A valid CHP

To legally carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle within Virginia, a valid Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP) is required. This means that option C is the correct choice as it aligns with the law in Virginia. Option A, stating that the handgun must be visible at all times, is incorrect as the whole point of a concealed carry permit is to carry the handgun in a concealed manner. Option B, which suggests that the handgun must be locked in the glove compartment, is also inaccurate because simply locking the handgun in the glove compartment without having a valid CHP does not make it legal to carry a concealed weapon in a vehicle in Virginia. Therefore, having a valid CHP is crucial to carrying a concealed handgun in a vehicle in Virginia.
