West Virginia: NICS Exemption Bill Passes House Judiciary Committee :: 01/31/2014

"...the bill language will be sent to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) for further review. The review by BATFE should ensure that valid carry permit holders will be exempt from the national background check (NICS) when purchasing a firearm."

Hmm, that language, exempting License to Carry Firearms holders from background checks, sure sounds familiar. Oh, nuts, we forgot. The Pennsylvania State Police get to trump any pro gun language that they care to, with a complicit Governor watching them do it. We sure hope our neighbors in West Virginia keep their officials on a tight leash. Anybody up for contacting the Governor's office and reminding him that HE promised to reign in the PSP?
