What kind of training is required to apply for a Virginia CHP?

  1. Hunter safety course

  2. NRA firearms safety or training course

  3. Military training

  4. No training is required

The correct answer is: NRA firearms safety or training course

NRA firearms safety or training course is the correct answer because in order to apply for a Virginia CHP, one must first complete a firearms safety or training course from the National Rifle Association (NRA). A) Hunter safety course is incorrect because it does not specifically meet the required training from the NRA. C) Military training is incorrect because it may or may not have included firearms safety or training. D) No training is required is incorrect because it is a common misconception that no training is needed to apply for a Virginia CHP, but in fact, the NRA course is necessary.
