Are background checks required for private gun sales in Virginia?

Yes, always
No, never
Yes, but only at gun shows
Yes, but with some exceptions

The correct answer is: Yes, but with some exceptions

Background checks for private gun sales in Virginia are required, but there are some exceptions to the rule. For example, individuals who already have a valid concealed carry permit or who are purchasing a gun from certain family members are exempt from the requirement. Options A and C are incorrect because they both suggest that background checks are always required, which is not the case. Option B is incorrect because background checks are required, just with some exceptions.
