Can a non-resident passing through West Virginia possess a firearm in their vehicle?

  1. Yes, if properly stored

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only with a West Virginia permit

  4. Yes, but only handguns

The correct answer is: Yes, if properly stored

Non-residents passing through West Virginia can possess a firearm in their vehicle as long as it is properly stored. This means the firearm must be unloaded and secured in a closed compartment or container, such as a glove box or trunk. Option B is incorrect because it states that non-residents cannot possess a firearm in their vehicle, which is not true. Option C is also incorrect because it suggests that a West Virginia permit is required, which is not the case for non-residents simply passing through the state. Option D is incorrect because it limits the type of firearm that can be possessed in a vehicle, but non-residents are allowed to possess any legal firearm as long as it is properly stored.
