Can a person with a domestic violence conviction own a firearm in West Virginia?

Yes
No
Yes, but only after 5 years
Yes, but only with a pardon

The correct answer is: No

This is because federal law prohibits individuals who have been convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from owning or possessing firearms. This means that regardless of state laws, a person with a domestic violence conviction is not legally allowed to own a firearm. Options A, C, and D all suggest that a person with a domestic violence conviction may be able to own a firearm under certain conditions, but this is not the case under federal law. It is important to note that state laws may also have restrictions on firearm ownership for individuals with domestic violence convictions, so it is important to research and understand both federal and state laws in a particular jurisdiction.
