West Virginia CCW Permit Now Recognized by 35 States (16 New Ones!)
West Virginia has significantly expanded concealed carry recognition. House Bill 4145 allows permitless carry for those 21+ and implements a provisional permit for 18-20 year olds. Crucially, 16 additional states now recognize West Virginia's concealed carry permit, bringing the total to 35 states. This expansion is based on formal written agreements, which are more stable than verbal understandings.
