What type of firearm safety training is required for a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Online safety course only

  2. NRA firearms safety or training course

  3. Military training with firearms

  4. No training is required

The correct answer is: NRA firearms safety or training course

In order to obtain a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, one is required to complete a NRA firearms safety or training course. This is because the state of Virginia recognizes the high level of training and safety standards provided by the NRA. Option A, an online safety course, is insufficient as it does not provide hands-on training with firearms. Option C, military training with firearms, is not accepted as the sole form of safety training for obtaining a permit. Option D, no training required, is incorrect as Virginia law mandates that individuals must complete a safety training course in order to obtain a permit.
