33-BILLS PROPOSED IN WV LEGISLATURE TO PROTECT OR EXPAND GUN OWNERSHIP

 

 

 

West Virginia gun rights proponents should have little to worry about in the Mountain State.

WV legislators have introduced 33 bills to expand or protect gun rights.

 

While Congress and some states are considering assault weapon bans and background checks to recent mass shootings in Connecticut, Colorado and elsewhere, state lawmakers are seeking to allow firearms in schools and at the state Capitol, block enforcement of any new federal gun laws, and declare all future control measures, whether federal, state or local, invalid.

 

One bill seeks to strike down gun ordinances in three WV municipalities, including a measure passed in Charleston several years ago that limits the purchases of handguns to one a month, with a buyer waiting 72 hours before receiving the weapon.

 

Charleston mayor, Republican Danny Jones, is opposed to striking the law, which was passed to prevent drug dealers from Detroit and other cities who came to Charleston selling drugs to purchase large amounts of unrestricted guns in the city, to return to their cities that have strict gun buying laws.

 

Jones said it was a big problem, they made money coming and going from West Virginia. The guns then command high prices in areas with strict gun laws.

 

WEST VIRGINIA LEADER IN EXPORTED GUNS USED IN CRIMES

 

"I don't know how well they've (legislature) followed the NRA script in the past, but they're clearly trying to follow it in the future," Jones said of the legislators.

 

Other measures would exempt firearms from federal rules when they are made and then sold within the state's borders, and go after the medical license of any physician who asks a patient about having guns to gather statistics or justify counseling.

 

At least 49 of 134 members of the legislature belong to the gun lobbying National Rifle Association.

 

The NRA has noticed this legislative session's efforts, applauding them in a bulletin:

 

"The NRA is proud to work with an overwhelmingly bi-partisan group of state legislators in Charleston who appreciate and share the same profound respect and support for the Second Amendment as do our members in West Virginia."

Already an option for me, but may want to go further south.

Difference in proposing good legislation instead of creating laws that only punish the law-abiding and do nothing to solve any problem.

I'm in my third year at WVU right now...Last Wednesday the student Board of Governors voted in favor for a concealed carrying permit to qualifying individuals on campus. Now it goes on to the the School Board of Governors...I personally don't think it will ever get passed but it's good to hear students are fighting for what they believe in.

One heck of a University. I love Morgantown. You all crazy in WVU. Every time I stop for gas by that gas station with the Taco Bell on route 68 is full of you crazy but respectful students. WVU has been label as the party campus of the USA. At the Spencer, WV high school they have a State Trooper that lives on the property. They rotate them as they come on the force. It helps them out to get on their feet and at the same time there is always a Police presence on the grounds. Either way guns are a way of live here in WV. I can't apply for my CCP till I hit the one year residency status. By then I hunt and fish for free all over the State and will have my CCP.
