Can non-residents carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia with a permit issued from their home state?

  1. Yes, if there is a reciprocity agreement

  2. No, non-residents cannot carry a concealed weapon

  3. Yes, but they must first notify local law enforcement

  4. Yes, in all cases without restrictions

The correct answer is: Yes, if there is a reciprocity agreement

Non-residents can carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia with a permit issued from their home state if there is a reciprocity agreement in place between West Virginia and their home state. This means that individuals from states with which West Virginia has established reciprocity agreements can legally carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia with their out-of-state permit. It is important for individuals to check if their home state has a reciprocity agreement with West Virginia before carrying a concealed weapon in the state. Option B is incorrect because non-residents can carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia with the proper permit under certain conditions. Option C is incorrect because notifying local law enforcement is not a requirement for non-residents carrying a concealed weapon in West Virginia with a permit from their home state. Option D is incorrect because there may be restrictions or conditions, such as having a reciprocity agreement in place, for non-residents to carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia.
