Can an individual carry a concealed firearm in West Virginia without a permit?

Yes, if the individual is over 21
No, a permit is always required
Yes, but only within the individual’s property
Yes, if the individual is over 18

The correct answer is: Yes, if the individual is over 21

In West Virginia, individuals who are over the age of 21 can carry a concealed firearm without a permit. This law reflects the state's recognition of the right to carry firearms and aims to simplify the process for law-abiding citizens. Carrying a concealed weapon without a permit does, however, come with the understanding that the individual must still follow all other applicable laws regarding the carrying and use of firearms. Some other contexts may provide additional stipulations, such as specific locations where firearms may not be carried regardless of age or permit status. The options that suggest a permit is always required or limit the right to carry only on private property do not align with the current law in West Virginia regarding concealed carry for individuals 21 and older.
