I’m not sure if that’s the case for those who want to carry out of state. WV has reciprocity with most of the states. If you can no longer get a concealed carry permit showing you’ve met statutory standards which the attorney generals of the states have ruled are equivalent, what happens then?
The law does nothing to do away with the current permit.
It simply removes the requirement for the permit to carry concealed in West Virginia if you are over 21.
