To clarify: WV's constitutional carry is for OPEN, not concealed, right?

I'll confess I'm a little confused as to why a state that allows constitutional concealed carry ... would have an in depth discussion about which concealed carry permits they honor or don't from other states.
Constitutional carry, no bans on evil black guns, standard capacity magazines without having to travel to another state, free 100 yard ranges at many state parks and state forests, friendly people, the best damned biscuits on the planet, there's a reason it's Almost Heaven.
When I finished college and was working in Charleston, a buddy and I went to the KSF range on a weekday and were the only guys there shooting my 1911, his Red Label, and a mini-30 until this Mercedes SL500 pulled up. Dude gets out and starts setting up a registered MG34. He was a cardiologist with CAMC and had both a 34 and 42 (though he only brought the 34 that day). Full auto without a care in the world. Meanwhile any range open to the public here in MD would go ballistic if you dared go over the 1 shot per second rule.
I asked that question to a WV. police officer. He said that if I had a Utah, or Florida nonresident permit, I could carry conceled. I could not carry without a permit from another state that was recognized by WV. He also told me that WV. does not issue nonresident permits. Same rules for open carry. I do know that in some cases the police really don't know and understand their own laws!
Use caution!!
