On 9 March, 2018, HB 4187 passed the West Virginia senate, 32-1, with 1 senator absent. The bill insures that busnesses may not ban privately owned firearms from vehicles in company parking lots. Summary From HB 4187:
The purpose of this bill is to create the “Business Liability Protection Act”. The bill includes the right to limit possession of firearms on certain premises and definitions. It also provides for misdemeanor criminal offense and penalty. It prohibits employers from certain specific actions against a person when that person possesses a firearm legally, including a condition of employment. The bill provides a duty of care of public and private employers and provides for immunity from liability. The bill authorizes the Attorney General to enforce this statute, including the right to sue or seek injunctive relief; and seek civil fines.The bill had two amendments added in the senate. From wvgazettemail.com:
In the Senate, legislation that would stop private businesses and associations from prohibiting guns in vehicles parked on their property advanced to passage stage on Friday, after the Senate adopted two amendments Thursday (HB 4187).The only Senator to vote Nay was Corey Palumbo, (D- Kanawa, 17). Palumbo only has a 43% rating from the NRA. He voted against Constitutional Carry (HB 4145 in 2016). From wvlegislature.gov vote on HB 4187, 32 Yea, 1 Nay, 1 Absent.
One change requires that firearms in vehicles be hidden out of view of passers-by. The second clarifies that the right to have firearms in vehicles does not apply to vehicles owned or leased to a private business or association.
The amendments were adopted on a voice vote, without debate.
Big Jim should be WVa’s next Senator. He would crush the fraud.
Yep, a step in the right direction. However, I would like to see a liability on any private property owner, who prohibits a CCW holder from carrying should that CCW holder receive injury from a criminal act.
Hell, we even have the parking lot “safe haven” provision in the rat ass state of illannoy.
This rule needs to spread to all Federal government parking lots. The VA has sites where the local director alone can implement a “zero-tolerance” site policy that prevents both out-patients and volunteers, as well as employees, from having guns anywhere n their cars, locked up or not.
Justice just flipped to Republican and has been rated 0% by both orgs.
He is not to be trusted.
After the Florida vote I trust no one that doesn’t have and maintain A ratings forever, period.
Trump is on the watch list, and close to losing 2nd Amend patriots support.
Trump is about to lose your support?
LOL!
He’s already lost the support of nearly everyone else who has no idea who Trump is, why should you wait any longer?
Let me know when the following actually occurs
The wall
Shut down of illegal immigration
Indictments of criminal Democrat actions ( too many names to begin a list)
National reciprocity
De-scheduling of suppressors
His action on bumpstocks is exactly what we criticized the usurper for (inventing law) and even he wouldn’t go there.
The fact is he is 50/50 on results and has to step up his game. Yes I appreciate the first 50 % but will brook no transgression of Constitutional rights.
And I was a Trump supporter most likely long before you.
I have been a loyal Trump supporter since 2011.
Emphasis on loyal.
All politicians are pissants. The only issue is he or she our pissant or theirs?
Like it or not the divide has to be breached and it won’t be pretty.
If sleepy Jeff does what he is suppose to do, we will have Oct. surprises to favorably affect the midterms. If not, and it goes south we will have lame Donald Duck doing Deals. But with the enemy.
F loyalty, winning is what you want Patton style, breach the divide and destroy your enemies’ ability to project power for a century. Failing that, your grandchildren will be in the same boat and worse than under the usurper in a few short years.
Another on my list - first amendment rights enforced on all public institutions upon pain of criminal and civil penalties.
You Never Trumper’s are to be mocked and ridiculed for your silly ‘principles’.
Trump is not in danger of losing much of his support.
Does the AG have any charisma? Or is he just another colorless Republican?

Good for West Virginia! That’s the way to do it.
The age hike is the line in the sand for a larger number of voters: a line that won’t be redrawn.
The Extreme Risk Protection Orders issue is another one.
