What does West Virginia law require for storing firearms in homes with children?

  1. Locking firearms in a safe

  2. Using trigger locks on all firearms

  3. There are no specific requirements

  4. Storing ammunition separately

The correct answer is: There are no specific requirements

West Virginia law does not impose specific requirements regarding the storage of firearms in homes with children, making it permissible for gun owners to store their firearms in any manner they choose. This lack of mandated regulations places the onus of responsibility on gun owners to ensure safe storage practices, especially in homes with minors. While other methods such as using safes, trigger locks, or storing ammunition separately can enhance safety, these practices are not legally required in West Virginia. The emphasis remains on the personal responsibility of firearm owners to take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access, particularly by children.
