West Virginia's Senate Overrides
Governor's Concealed Carry Veto

By Jenn Jacques. March 7th, 2016

West Virginia's senate voted 23-11 to override Governor veto on the conceal carry bill on Saturday. The measure was passed along after the house also voted to override the veto by a vote of 64-33. The measure makes it no longer necessary to apply for a permit to have a concealed weapon.

The legislation provides a $50 tax credit for anyone who voluntarily undergoes gun training and persons between the ages of 18-21 must still obtain a permit.

"As the chief legal officer of the state and the person in charge of criminal matters for the state at the WV Supreme Court and in federal courts, I know that this legislation will not impact public safety," West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey said after the veto. "If this bill is enacted, we will not only expand freedom, but we will keep our citizens protected."......

"This bill allows West Virginians to protect themselves without the government's permission", stated West Virginia Senate President Bill Cole (R). Another state to now add to the still all-too-few, which is good news. "Permission" to excercise a right should never even be needed - please take note anti-gun states.

"You don't have to be Jewish to fight by our side."
