Bill Summary
Carrying a concealed handgun; permit not required. Allows any person who is otherwise eligible to obtain a concealed handgun permit to carry a concealed handgun without a permit anywhere he may lawfully carry a handgun openly within the Commonwealth.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Virginia law that prohibits carrying concealed weapons, making it legal for any person who is otherwise eligible to obtain a concealed handgun permit to carry a handgun concealed without needing a permit, as long as they could lawfully carry that handgun openly within the Commonwealth. This change effectively removes the permit requirement for concealed handgun carry for eligible individuals, provided they meet the general qualifications to possess a handgun and can legally carry it openly.
