3-22 Carry  Introduction pending
WVCDL members and supporters, we once again stand on the brink of driving forward the strongest pro-gun, pro-self defense legislation this state has ever seen.  3-22 Carry (sometimes referred to as permitless or constitutional carry) will be introduced in the Senate in the next couple of days as SB347.

SB347 will make obtaining a Concealed Handgun License optional for carrying concealed.  The licensing process will remain intact, so that those of us who wish to carry while we travel to the 30+ reciprocal states may do so.  But if this bill passes intact, a license will not be needed to carry a concealed weapon in this state, provided it is legal for you to own one.

This bipartisan bill will be introduced by Senator Dave Sypolt (R-Preston), Senator Craig Blair (R-Berkeley), Senator Robert Beach (D-Monongalia), Senator Ed Gaunch (R-Kanawha), Senator Daniel Hall (R-Wyoming), Senator Robert Karnes (R-Upshur), Senator Kent Leonhardt (R-Monongalia), Senator Mark Maynard (R-Wayne), and Senator Bob Williams (D-Taylor).  Between now and introduction, there is still opportunity for a couple of more senators to sign on.  If so, we will update.

West Virginians, I will tell you this.  This bill's passage depends on you.  If you want 3-22 (constitutional) carry in our lifetime, this is the time to make it happen.  And your way to make it happen is to show up on Lobby Day, in the Capitol Rotunda in Charleston, at 8AM on Monday, February 16th.

The WVCDL does not hound its members for money.  We do not send you constant emails asking for cash.  But we do ask you instead for one day a year to stand with us, and together, advance our Second Amendment rights.

Your state needs you.  February 16th.

Got the email this morning.  What are the chances of Constitutional carry being passed?  Good, I hope.

They're better than they've been in either of our lifetimes, but it's going to take some work to make it happen.

Have fun here

Yeah, saw that in the other WVCDL email.  What a schmuck Glockcop is.  I told my uncle who lives up near
Martinsburg, and he and my cousin won't be going to that guy's store or classes.

Whaddadouche.


As to the original post, I am still of the opinion that WV wasn't ready for CC.....but I never figured I'd see WV as a RED state either.
As above, more possible now than ever before, and I think it will be a seriously uphill battle, but it IS possible.
And only one small 'event' to bring it all crumbling down.

I wish I could help, I am a member of the WVCDL,  own land in Preston County, but still a Resident of Fucking NJ.


Godspeed

If he doesn't, he might want to find somewhere else to live.  Logan County folks can be.... bristly when one of their own tramples their rights.

I'd love for him to sign it, but he'll likely not sign it and SB347 will become law after the prerequisite time period.

 

I don't worry about the gov.  Will the legislature pass it?

Any more word on this?
