Hello all-
I have searched around on this and not yet found the info I need. So now I am turning to the experts. ;-)
Sometimes when I'm not OC'ing, I concealed carry for whatever reason. Which is why I have a CHP, originally issued by the City of Richmond, that doesn't expire for a couple more years. Recently I moved from the City of Richmond to Henrico County for a long list of reasons (that's another discussion, hahaha.) I notified DMV and did everything else I knew to do in terms of filing a change of address. The one remaining issue is of course my CHP.
Last week I called the City of Richmond and after finally getting to someone who knew what a CHP was, I was told "file for a new one in Henrico and after you get it, shred your old one from Richmond." So I took the time to print and fill out the VSP form, copy my drivers license and current CHP and training course certifications, write a check for $50, and head down to the Henrico courthouse.
The Henrico clerk took a 3-second look at my paperwork and immediately declared she couldn't do anything with it. She said I couldn't get a County CHP because my City one wasn't near its renewal time. And that I needed to go back to the City and have them re-issue my CHP but with my county address on it. Huh?!?
So before I bother picking up the phone again and/or burning several hours on a trip back into the City and/or out to the County courthouse to get this figured out, I was hoping for any thoughts on the subject. Did the City lady on the phone tell me wrong, or did the County lady in person tell me wrong? What should my next step be?
Many thanks in advance for your time and thoughts!
