What is required for a non-resident to carry a concealed handgun in West Virginia?

They must have a permit from their home state
They must first notify local law enforcement
They must have a West Virginia concealed carry permit
They must pass a background check upon entry

The correct answer is: They must have a permit from their home state

In order to carry a concealed handgun in West Virginia, a non-resident must have a permit from their home state. This option is correct because West Virginia has reciprocity agreements with certain states which allow for their permits to be recognized. Option B is incorrect because it is not a requirement for a non-resident to notify local law enforcement before carrying a concealed handgun. Option C is incorrect because a West Virginia concealed carry permit is only required for residents of the state, not non-residents. Option D is also incorrect because a background check is not required upon entry, but rather the non-resident must already have a permit from their home state.
