Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Virginia law to expand the recognized methods for demonstrating competence with a handgun for concealed carry permits (for both residents and nonresidents), prohibits additional requirements or expiration of proof, and mandates publication of an approved training list, all of which reduce barriers to obtaining such permits.
