This only applies to those who have a current WV CCW license.

SB 353, introduced by state Senate Majority Leader John Unger (D-16) and Senate President Jeff Kessler (D-2), would expedite the process of purchasing a firearm for valid concealed carry permit holders by making West Virginia eligible for an exemption from the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Such carry permit holders have already cleared a background check. This legislation would further conform state law to federal law and lead to greater reciprocity for permit holders throughout the United States.

Time to Move

When I see this kind of positive action regarding guns in WVA vs our Maryland insanity I start to see that it may be time to move. I have thought about it, but the latest madness coming out of Annapolis has me taking antacids way too often lately.

Way to go West Virginia.

WV ain't MD...fellas...in many, many ways.

Yeah, but is that a bad thing?

HAHA, just noticed. But seriously, this is awesome. Now if only MD could get a few brain cells in our politicians.

Iike to see no partisan BS. Constitution honored. Common sense law.

Having spent 4-odd years between the two, I can't wait to call WV my 100% home again - 3 months and counting!

That said, I wouldn't necessarily laugh... now is not the time to sit on our laurels and lay witness to the destruction of our neighbors; because in no time, they'll be knocking on our doors as well.

Not actually sitting on my laurels...I have been writing/emailing MD legislators and MOM letting them know I was considering a move to MD, but if the proposed gun legislation is passed, it will definitely kill that plan. I figure they should know it is not just the residents of MD watching their actions. I agree with you and would prefer to try and stop this before it has even the slightest chance of making it across the Potomac.

I was considering a move to MD...

Why would you ever do that?
I moved out of MD over 20 years ago, best move I ever made!

Also, not sure if you guys are watching the WVCDL's updates, but apparently the pre-emption law has a good chance of getting stronger, to the point where if a city passes a gun control ordinance, gets sued, and loses, the city has to pay all litigation fees and fines.

 

[Rem700fan]

Why would you ever do that?

My wife would move back if I said OK lets go. Been leaving some minor details our of the emails. Just telling them why I will not, hoping it helps the cause

Yes in WV you have more gun rights. For now. It will change.

But annual personal property taxes on you cars? Dogs? Every year?

Wages that are half what they are in MD?

Its not heaven.
