non-res ccw permit

Hey all...new here; just been browsing around and this looks like a pretty cool board!

i'm from VA, and i'm under 21 by a scant year and a half, so unfortunately i can't get my ccw, and i'm too chicken to open carry...yet.

so, i discovered that VA honors idaho's non-res permits, but that idaho requires a visit when you apply for one. anyone know if the visit is always required, or if it's just prefered? shellin out five hundred bucks for a plane ticket is kind of hard for a poor student, if ya know what i mean!

thanks!

P. A valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or license issued by another state shall authorize the holder of such permit or license who is at least 21 years of age to carry a concealed handgun in the Commonwealth, provided (i) the issuing authority provides the means for instantaneous verification of the validity of all such permits or licenses issued within that state, accessible 24 hours a day, and (ii) except for the age of the permit or license holder and the type of weapon authorized to be carried, the requirements and qualifications of that state's law are adequate to prevent possession of a permit or license by persons who would be denied a permit in the Commonwealth under this section. The Superintendent of State Police shall (a) in consultation with the Office of the Attorney General determine whether states meet the requirements and qualifications of this section, (b) maintain a registry of such states on the Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN), and (c) make the registry available to law-enforcement officers for investigative purposes. The Superintendent of the State Police, in consultation with the Attorney General, may also enter into agreements for reciprocal recognition with any state qualifying for recognition under this subsection.
