What is the Process to appeal a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit denial?

  1. There is no appeal process

  2. Petition the Virginia Supreme Court

  3. File a reconsideration request with the local court

  4. Appeal to the Governor's office

The correct answer is: File a reconsideration request with the local court

When a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit application is denied, the correct process to appeal the denial is to file a reconsideration request with the local court. This involves submitting a formal request for the court to review the denial decision and potentially reverse it. It is essential to follow the designated legal procedure for appealing a denial to have the best chance of a successful outcome. Option A is incorrect because there is indeed an appeal process available for individuals who have been denied a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit. Option B is incorrect as petitioning the Virginia Supreme Court is not the standard procedure for appealing a permit denial. Option D is incorrect; appealing to the Governor's office is not the typical or appropriate route to challenge a permit denial.
