Permitless concealed carry in West Virginia soon to be law

WEST VIRGINIA (WVVA) West Virginia will soon be among seven other states where residents can carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

This comes after West Virginia Lawmakers voted this weekend to override Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's veto on House Bill 4145.

The override on Tomblin's veto means that if you're older than 21 and live in West Virginia, permitless concealed carry will be law in 90 days.

Governor Earl Ray Tomblin originally veto'd the bill with safety concerns.

The West Virginia House and West Virginia Senate both voted to override Tomblin's veto.

I am proud of my State House and Senate members who have sided with the Constitution rather than that ‘RAT Tomblin.

Mandated CCW’s are unconstitutional and unfortunately so is the enforcement. It's all about government tyranny and criminal pukes in government that are afraid of the citizens. Good on WV, about dammed time a state accepts the Constitution as it was meant, to protect the citizen from a power hungry and controlling government.

The Rat governor is lying when he says he vetoed over safety concerns. Seven other states have had absolutely no issues with Constitutional carry. This is a time-worn excuse that has been repudiated time and time again.

Only 43 more to go. 50 if you use Obama’s count of 57.

Yes, and when he talks about wanting America to be more green, it might not be what the environazis think it is.

Now if only all the other states would follow, or if the US Congress would pass a law and make it so in the entire country...

Wouldn’t it be great if it covered all people who were military age instead of age 21?

Not complaining, just asking.

Generally speaking those who open carry are quite aware of their surroundings.
