Which of the following would disqualify someone from obtaining a Concealed Handgun Permit in Virginia?

  1. Being convicted of a felony

  2. Not having completed a firearms training course

  3. Living in another state

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Being convicted of a felony

Being convicted of a felony would disqualify someone from obtaining a Concealed Handgun Permit in Virginia because individuals with felony convictions are prohibited from possessing firearms under federal law. This makes choice A the correct answer. Not having completed a firearms training course (choice B) is a requirement for obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, but it does not disqualify someone from obtaining the permit outright. Living in another state (choice C) also does not disqualify someone from obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit, as non-residents can apply for non-resident permits through Virginia's reciprocity agreements with certain states. Therefore, the correct answer is A, being convicted of a felony.
