In Virginia you do not need a formal CCW class to obtain a permit. All you need is a safety course. Many NRA certified instructors run a basic safety class that meets the requirement. You can also try contacting the Arlington-Fairfax Isaac Walton League and asking when they have a basic handgun safety class scheduled. Most are on a long Saturday. You do not even need a weapon.
