Do Virginia CHP holders need to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm?

  1. No, the permit exempts them from background checks

  2. Yes, but only for the first purchase

  3. Yes, every time

  4. No, if the seller agrees to skip it

The correct answer is: Yes, every time

Virginia CHP holders are required to undergo a background check each time they purchase a firearm, regardless of holding the permit. This is a standard procedure to ensure that the individual remains eligible to possess firearms under state and federal law. Option A is incorrect because the permit does not exempt holders from background checks. Option B is incorrect because the background check is not only required for the first purchase. Option D is incorrect because skipping the background check is not based on the seller's agreement, as it is a legal requirement.
