What type of background check is required for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application?

  1. State only

  2. Federal only

  3. State and federal

  4. None required

The correct answer is: State and federal

For a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application, both state and federal background checks are required. This is because individuals applying for a CHP must pass thorough checks at both levels to ensure they meet the necessary criteria and do not have any disqualifying factors that would prevent them from legally possessing a concealed handgun permit in the state of Virginia. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A (State only) and Option B (Federal only) are incorrect because both state and federal background checks are necessary for obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. Option D (None required) is also incorrect as background checks are a crucial part of the application process to obtain a CHP in Virginia.
