VA CHPs how many?

Post by AlanM »

Just a quick question.
Is there a reliable source of information on how many VA CHPs have been issued?
Resident vs. non-resident?

TIA

Just think: Some of those 230,000 people are eating dinner right now in an establishment where alcohol is being served.

And not a single one has shot anyone in the past year because their steak was undercooked :confused:

You know that whole "Blood bath" thing only happens in GUN-FREE ZONES!

Research it, seriously... the only places that get "shot up", are states, counties, and locations that BAN, or RESTRICT firearms.

When was the last GUN RANGE "Blood bath"!?!? :roll:

Impressive! Who's is keeping score? Where can that number be found?
Not that I don't believe you, that number is quite close to the national average (permits/100,000) for a state that has had CC for a long period of time.

As of 2007


http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/inde ... 61555.html
About 2 percent of Virginians, 135,789 of us, have concealed handgun permits. In the New River Valley, 3,826 people have them, a slightly higher rate than in the rest of the state.
