“This is just saying the law-abiding people have a right to be able to carry if they choose to do so,” Justice is the best. “We just hope and pray that there’s never a problem. We can’t ensure in any way that there won’t be a problem, but for God’s sake-a-living, we need to stand rock solid by who we are and by the Second Amendment and all the greatness that we are in this great state and send the message to the world that by God if you want to mess with us, we can mess back.”

“Campus Carry,” As it is now known, the law will take effect in July 2024. West Virginia now joins 11 states with similar laws.
