Can a person openly carry a firearm in a bar or restaurant that serves alcohol in West Virginia?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only if the owner permits it

  4. Yes, but they cannot consume alcohol

The correct answer is: Yes, but they cannot consume alcohol

Due to the state’s open carry laws, it is legal to openly carry a firearm in public places in West Virginia, including in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol. However, this does not give individuals the right to consume alcohol while carrying the firearm, as this would be considered a violation of the state’s laws regarding firearms and alcohol. Therefore, while it is technically legal to openly carry a firearm in a bar or restaurant in West Virginia, individuals must also be mindful of the laws surrounding the consumption of alcohol while in possession of a firearm.
