What happens if a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed?

  1. The permit is no longer valid

  2. You must reapply for a new permit

  3. You must inform the issuing court and request a replacement

  4. Nothing, you can still carry without it

The correct answer is: You must inform the issuing court and request a replacement

If a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit is lost or destroyed, the correct course of action is to inform the issuing court and request a replacement. This is important to ensure that you have a valid permit in your possession when carrying a concealed handgun. Option A is not correct as the permit does not become automatically invalid if it is lost or destroyed. Option B is not the correct course of action as simply reapplying for a new permit without informing the issuing court may lead to complications. Option D is not accurate as carrying a concealed handgun without a valid permit is illegal. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it outlines the necessary steps to take in this situation to maintain a valid permit.
