What type of firearms safety course is required for obtaining a concealed carry permit in West Virginia?

  1. NRA-approved firearms safety course

  2. State-developed firearms safety course

  3. Any firearms safety course offered by a certified instructor

  4. No course is required

The correct answer is: NRA-approved firearms safety course

In West Virginia, individuals are required to complete an NRA-approved firearms safety course in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. This is because the state recognizes the high standards and thorough training provided by the National Rifle Association. Options B and C may seem plausible, but the state has specifically chosen to require an NRA-approved course. Option D is incorrect as a course is indeed required for obtaining a concealed carry permit in West Virginia.
