Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit Practice Exam 2026 – Complete Prep Guide

Concealed Handgun Permit holders in Virginia are subject to periodic background check renewals at the time of permit renewal. This means that when a permit holder goes to renew their permit, they will undergo another background check to ensure they still meet the eligibility requirements to hold a concealed handgun permit in the state of Virginia. This process helps to ensure that individuals who may have become ineligible due to new criminal activity or other disqualifying factors do not continue to hold a permit.
