What is required to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in West Virginia?

  1. Proof of West Virginia residency

  2. A valid state ID or driver's license

  3. A concealed carry permit

  4. Both A and B

The correct answer is: Both A and B

To purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in West Virginia, both proof of residency and a valid state identification or driver's license are necessary. Proof of residency ensures that the buyer legally resides in West Virginia and complies with state laws regarding firearm purchases. A valid state ID or driver's license serves as verification of the purchaser's identity and age, confirming that they are legally eligible to purchase a firearm. While having a concealed carry permit may facilitate certain aspects of firearm ownership and carry, it is not a requirement for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in the state. As such, the correct response encompasses both the proof of West Virginia residency and the valid ID, highlighting the specific documentation needed to proceed with the purchase legally.
