Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit Practice Exam 2026 – Complete Prep Guide

Question: 1 / 400

Is a background check required every time you purchase a firearm in Virginia if you have a CHP?

Yes, without exceptions

In Virginia, a background check is required every time someone purchases a firearm regardless of whether or not they have a CHP (Concealed Handgun Permit). This means that even if someone has a CHP, they will still have to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm. Option B is incorrect as the CHP does not exempt someone from undergoing a background check. Option C is incorrect because a background check is still required for private sales. Option D is incorrect because while a background check is not required for a CHP holder to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer, it is still required for all firearm purchases in the state. Therefore, the correct answer is A - a background check is required every time a firearm is purchased in Virginia, even if the buyer has a CHP.
