Which of the following disqualifies someone from obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. A conviction for jaywalking

  2. A speeding ticket

  3. A DUI conviction within the past five years

  4. Reckless driving conviction more than five years ago

The correct answer is: A DUI conviction within the past five years

A DUI conviction within the past five years disqualifies someone from obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit because it is considered a serious offense that may indicate irresponsible behavior or risk of harm to oneself or others. Therefore, individuals with a recent DUI conviction are deemed ineligible for a concealed handgun permit in Virginia. The other options, such as a conviction for jaywalking, a speeding ticket, or a reckless driving conviction more than five years ago, are not disqualifying factors for obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. While these infractions may be legal offenses, they are not considered as severe as a recent DUI conviction when assessing someone's eligibility for a concealed handgun permit in Virginia.
