Who can issue a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit?

  1. Virginia State Police

  2. Local Circuit Court

  3. Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources

  4. Local Sheriff's Office

The correct answer is: Local Circuit Court

A Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit can only be issued by the Local Circuit Court. The Virginia State Police does not issue permits, but they do review and process applications submitted by the Local Circuit Court. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources can issue permits, but only to employees of the department for official purposes. The Local Sheriff's Office does not issue permits, but they may be involved in the application process by completing background checks or providing required documentation. Therefore, the Local Circuit Court is the only option that has the authority to issue the permit directly to the applicant.
