Are CHP holders in Virginia exempt from the background check when purchasing a firearm?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only within the first year of holding the permit

  4. Only when purchasing from a licensed dealer

The correct answer is: Yes

CHP holders in Virginia are exempt from the background check when purchasing a firearm. This exemption is an advantage of holding a Concealed Handgun Permit as the extensive background check requirement is considered unnecessary for individuals who have already gone through a thorough vetting process to obtain their permit. This exemption streamlines the firearm purchasing process for CHP holders and is one of the benefits they receive.
