Out of state license to carry in West Virginia

[nick112288]

What state is the best route to be able to carry in West Virginia? I have family there so I visit a couple times a year.

Also are these other states going to require a training certificate? And if they are is there a statute of limitations on a certificate? I still have my one from my Ohio training back in 2013

West Virginia recognizes both Utah and Florida non-resident licences.

It does not honor Indiana's LTCH.

You can generally carry in WV without any permit as long as it's not concealed.

That wouldn't help with in car though.

I Was reading the info about the out of state Utah permit and I'm kind of confused. Is the only training they accept seriously just that list on their website? And the instructor has to fill out a specific part of the form?

Why do you think that? You can carry openly in a vehicle without a license in WV.
Just beware of their hunting regs and make sure only your defensive pistol is loaded

The best route to carry lawfully, concealed (if that is your preference) in WV would be for Gov Pence to write a letter to WV telling them that their permit is recognized in Indiana. That's all that's required at this point for our LTCH to be recognized there. For some reason, despite even legislators asking him to do so, he has not done it.

I'm not sure what pressure needs applied for him to write that letter.... hell, I wrote one out. All he had to do was sign it. No joy. (sigh)

Blessings,
Bill

what if my muffin top covers most of the gun? I often wear midriff shirts in WV

The Florida permit is easy to obtain. As I recall, you just need documented training. Any NRA event will do. It is a bit expensive, but it is simple to complete the process on-line.

The Arizona permit is very easy to get and WV recognizes it as well.

I have also sent an email asking him to write the letter, I remember when we had that big push not too long ago.

Thanks for the link! I may treat myself this year to getting every out of state license I can possibly get.

Oh and OP I forgot to mention. WV is very close to being a 2nd Amendment state! I think everything passed in the Senate and from what I hear from a guy who lives there that it should go on through without opposition. But we will see. Something you should consider though if getting a out of state somewhere else only benefits you in WV and things change soon.
There is a thread about constitutional carry in Kansas in which Kirk posted a link to things about other states (2nd link).

Utah isn't hard if you can stay awake for 4 hours.

What do you mean by that?

The required training for Utah non-res consists of a four-hour class.

Both Arizona and Florida accept the DD214 as proof of training. So if your a veteran just dig it out and send it with the other required items.

BoR - I don't think it is the Governor - The Reciprocity Agreements are between States' Attorney Generals ... If they are not recognized by legislation on a partial or complete level. ...

No DD214, just the certificate for my NRA certified class
