  1. Carrying openly with a permit

  2. Concealing a handgun without a permit

  3. Transporting a handgun through a school zone with a permit

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Concealing a handgun without a permit

Concealing a handgun without a permit is strictly prohibited in Virginia. In Virginia, it is illegal to conceal a handgun without a valid Concealed Handgun Permit (CHP). This means that even if you have a permit to carry a handgun openly, you cannot conceal it without the appropriate permit. It is important to understand and follow the state's laws and regulations to avoid any legal issues or consequences. Option A, carrying openly with a permit, is allowed in Virginia as long as you have the necessary permit. Option C, transporting a handgun through a school zone with a permit, is also permissible in Virginia under certain conditions. However, option B is the correct answer because concealing a handgun without a permit is a violation of Virginia's laws.
