Does West Virginia recognize concealed carry permits from other states?

Only from states with similar requirements
No, West Virginia does not recognize permits from other states
Yes, from all states
Yes, but only from states that also recognize West Virginia permits

The correct answer is: Only from states with similar requirements

West Virginia does recognize concealed carry permits from other states, but this recognition is conditional on certain factors, primarily involving the requirements of the issuing state. For the recognition to be valid, the out-of-state permit must have requirements that are similar to or compatible with West Virginia's own laws regarding background checks, training, and other criteria for obtaining a concealed carry permit. This relationship ensures that permits are issued responsibly and that they meet a standard of safety and training that West Virginia finds acceptable. The choice that indicates recognition strictly based on similar requirements best reflects the process and considerations in place under West Virginia law. Such stipulations not only maintain a level of safety but also ensure that individuals authorized to carry concealed weapons have undergone the necessary vetting.
