No, it is strictly prohibited
Yes, but not in cities or towns
Yes, but not on private property without permission

The correct answer is: Yes, in all locations

Open carry of a firearm is indeed legal in West Virginia without a permit, making the choice that claims this correct. West Virginia law allows individuals who are at least 18 years old and legally allowed to possess firearms to openly carry them in public spaces without the need for a government-issued permit. This legal allowance applies broadly in various locations throughout the state, although there may be specific restrictions on certain types of property or areas, such as public buildings or on the premises of schools. However, the general stance is that as long as you are complying with the law regarding eligibility and location, open carry is permitted throughout West Virginia.
