Another blow to the anti-gun crowd. W.Va legalizes concealed carry without a license.
Quote:
The West Virginia legislature successfully overturned the veto of Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto on Saturday in a bipartisan effort to enact permitless gun carry in the state.
Beginning June 5, anyone over age 21 who can legally possess a firearm will be allowed to carry it concealed on their person without having to obtain a permit. West Virginia has long allowed permitless open carry but, like most states, required a permit to carry a concealed firearm. With the new law the state will become the eighth in the nation to implement what gun rights activists call “constitutional carry.”
North Carolina tried to do this though our governor supports the permitting process requiring a permit to purchase handguns. I am a big supporter of background checks when purchasing a firearm though support Constitutional Carry. Hopefully more states will also follow this path.
One should note.....the (R)'s are getting hammered for this in state.....not because people are against this but rather they dealt with this and similar items before taking up the budget shortfall and are running out of time to agree on what to do.
