Is it legal to possess a firearm in a vehicle without a concealed carry permit in West Virginia?

Yes, if the firearm is unloaded and secured
Yes, but only in the glove compartment or console
Yes, anywhere in the vehicle as long as it is visible
No, it is illegal without a permit

The correct answer is: Yes, but only in the glove compartment or console

In West Virginia, it is legal to possess a firearm in a vehicle without a concealed carry permit as long as the firearm is stored in the glove compartment or console. This is a specific exception provided by West Virginia law. Option A is not entirely accurate because simply having the firearm unloaded and secured without being in the glove compartment or console may not be sufficient to comply with the law. Option C is incorrect because West Virginia law requires the firearm to be stored in the glove compartment or console when carried in a vehicle without a permit. Option D is not accurate as it overlooks the exception for storing a firearm in the glove compartment or console.
