Gun Gripes 96: "Open Carry...Texas Version"

West Virginia's HB4106, signed into law on April 1st, expands constitutional carry to include 18, 19, and 20-year-olds. This legislation clarifies that individuals aged 18-20, who are not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm, can now carry a concealed weapon without a permit, aligning with existing open carry laws for this age group. The law emphasizes that this right is for all law-abiding legal adults and aims to enhance self-defense capabilities.

The National Constitutional Carry Act (S4013), introduced by Senator Mike Lee, aims to end firearm carry permits nationwide by prohibiting states from imposing criminal or civil penalties on citizens carrying firearms. This bill also seeks to preempt state laws that limit magazine capacity or ammunition types, defining 'firearm' broadly to include ammunition feeding devices and ammunition itself. While the bill is seen as a positive step towards restoring constitutional rights, its passage is considered unlikely due to political hurdles.

This video clarifies that the National Constitutional Carry Act, introduced by Senator Mike Lee and Representative Thomas Massie, is a federal bill and not yet law.
