Is it legal to carry a firearm in state parks in West Virginia?

Yes
No
Yes, but only if unloaded and cased
Yes, but concealed carry only

The correct answer is: Yes

Carrying a firearm in state parks in West Virginia is indeed legal. West Virginia law allows individuals to carry firearms in most state parks as long as they comply with applicable statutes concerning firearm possession and carry. This includes having the appropriate permits for concealed carry if carrying concealed. The legislation has been structured to enhance the rights of law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights in public areas, including state parks. The other options, while they present alternative scenarios, do not reflect the current legal framework in West Virginia regarding the open carry of firearms in state parks. There are no restrictions mandating that firearms need to be unloaded or cased in these areas for legal carry, as long as they are possessed lawfully.
