What is the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for an individual carrying a concealed weapon in West Virginia?

  1. 0.02%

  2. 0.08%

  3. There is no specific BAC limit

  4. 0.04%

The correct answer is: There is no specific BAC limit

In West Virginia, there isn't a specific blood alcohol content (BAC) limit set for individuals who are carrying a concealed weapon. Instead, the law emphasizes that carrying under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be considered a violation of overall gun laws and can lead to criminal charges or the revocation of a concealed carry permit if the individual is impaired. This means that while there is no percentage limit outlined for BAC, any level of impairment that affects judgment and safety could result in legal consequences. As a result, responsible gun owners are strongly advised to avoid carrying a concealed weapon if they have consumed alcohol, regardless of the amount.
