Which item is illegal to carry concealed under 18.2-308?

• A. Book
• B. Umbrella
• C. Flashlight
• D. Pistol

Answer: (D)

Carrying a concealed firearm without a license is illegal under 18.2-308. A pistol is a firearm, and Virginia law generally requires a concealed handgun permit to carry a pistol hidden on your person. Without that permit, taking a pistol and concealing it would violate this statute. The other items listed aren’t firearms, so they aren’t governed by the same concealed-weapon rule in this context. A book, umbrella, or flashlight can be carried in a concealed manner without the same restriction, which is why the pistol is the item that is illegal to conceal under 18.2-308.
