Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in West Virginia?

Yes, for all individuals
No, for individuals over 21
Yes, but only for non-residents
No, for individuals over 18

The correct answer is: No, for individuals over 21

In West Virginia, the state honors permits from other states and thus, individuals over the age of 21 with a valid out-of-state concealed carry permit are not required to obtain a permit in West Virginia. This makes options A, C, and D incorrect as they either state that a permit is required for all individuals (which is not true for individuals with an out-of-state permit) or specify an age limit or residency requirement. It is also important to note that even with a valid permit, there are still certain prohibited places where individuals cannot carry a concealed handgun.
