BREAKING: WV Senate Override's Gov Tomblin's Veto, Constitutional Carry is Law :: 03/05/2016
As we reported below, the West Virginia house yesterday overrode Democrat Governor Earl Ray Tomblin’s veto of a bill eliminating carry licenses for most Mountain Staters. This morning, the senate did their part to annoy the governor by a 23-11 margin.
As wsaz.com reports, “The bill will do away with the state’s current permit and training program to carry a concealed weapon in West Virginia for anyone ages 21 and older. Permits will be required for those between 18-21.” The bill becomes law in 90 days.
