Does West Virginia honor concealed carry permits from all other states?

  1. Yes, without exceptions

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only with states that have reciprocity agreements

  4. Yes, but only for certain states

The correct answer is: Yes, but only with states that have reciprocity agreements

West Virginia recognizes concealed carry permits from other states, but this is contingent on reciprocity agreements. This means that West Virginia will honor the permits of states that have made a formal agreement to recognize each other's concealed carry permits. As a result, individuals holding permits from states that do not have such agreements with West Virginia would not be allowed to carry concealed in the state. This system is in place to ensure that the permits being honored meet specific criteria and standards that West Virginia considers necessary for the lawful carrying of concealed weapons. It is essential for permit holders to verify whether their state’s permit is recognized in West Virginia before attempting to carry a concealed weapon there.
