Non-resident CHP in Virginia . . . ??
I'm in Northeast Tennessee and travel often into Southwest Virginia. The recent change in reciprocity mandated by the VA attorney general prompted me to complete my VA non-resident CHP application. According to USPS priority mail tracking the packet got to the Virginia State Police in Richmond on December 28.
Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with
the time required for approval or denial of non-resident CHP permits in Virginia.
Would like to have an informed estimate as to about how long I might wait for an answer?

Visited that link some time ago. Nowhere do I find any suggestion that the Utah non-resident hcp can be obtained with an online application.

Lots of folks selling online classes, unnecessary, just get the package and complete it.
Thanks for the suggestion and the web address....would be perfect if I had an interest. I just want to get the permit, in case I'm in Virginia at some point.
Be careful about throwing that bit of advice around....it doesn't work every where....There are states that do not recognize Reserve IDs and not all Reserves are allowed to carry or possess powers of arrest...
To clarify; if you are a U.S. ( LEO) ie. a Deputy Sheriff and carry as a normal part of your apointed duties, you can now legally carry anywhere in the U.S. as long as you have your badge / ID on your person.
Anyhow, since it is not ILLEGAL to be a Deputy Sheriff,
What need I be careful about ?
They have a reserve Deputy Sheriff force here in Oregon, pretty good folks.
Mostly transport prisoners and other support services.
Reff to:
H.R. 218, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act”
and
S. 1132, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Safety Act
Improvements Act”
and
H.R. 4310, the “National Defense Authorization Act”
SNIP"
In 18 USC § 926B(c),[10] "qualified law enforcement officer" is defined as an employee of a governmental agency who:
is authorized by law to engage in or supervise the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of, or the incarceration of any person for, any violation of law, and has statutory powers of arrest, or apprehension under section 807(b) of title 10, United States Code (article 7(b) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice);
is authorized by the agency to carry a firearm;
is not the subject of any disciplinary action by the agency which could result in suspension or loss of police powers;
meets standards, if any, established by the agency which require the employee to regularly qualify in the use of a firearm;
is not under the influence of alcohol or another intoxicating or hallucinatory drug or substance; and
is not prohibited by Federal law from receiving a firearm.
Additionally, 18 USC § 926B requires that the individual must carry photographic identification issued by the governmental agency for which the individual is employed that identifies the employee as a police officer or law enforcement officer or correctional officer of the agency.
On-duty status determines LEOSA-eligibility. Thus, as long as the person meets the definition of "qualified law enforcement officer" in an on-duty capacity, whether an officer is a full-time, part-time, auxiliary, or reserve peace officer is not relevant in determining whether a person is a "qualified law enforcement officer" under LEOSA. LEOSA's definition of "qualified law enforcement officer" does not include a requirement that a person have law enforcement authority off-duty.[19][20][21]"
SNIP.....

hmmmm, the "FEDERAL" law seems a bit more clear to me.
Last I checked a Federal law in these matters trumps State law.
I already explained that...there are (as you pointed out in your second post) qualifiers...Reserve Office credentials are not recognized in all states nor does LEOSA apply in all cases..

I for one am happy this legislation passed, it put an end to lots of frivolous jurisdictional foolishness of a
LEOs authority and ability to carry ending at a State or sometimes County line, even threatened with arrest, it was like that between NYS & NJ except PONY and some Railroad cops with TriState authority.
This legislation even protects railroad cops even though they are not Govenment employees..
