BREAKING: WV House And Senate Immediately Vote To Override Governor Veto, Permitless Concealed Carry Coming In May

CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA — A battle is was taking place in a state looking to become the next to allow permitless concealed carry, and it looks like Governor Earl Ray Tomblin isn’t going to be victorious with his recent veto of the bill.

Citing concerns from law enforcement, the Governor made the following statement during the veto process:

“Our law enforcement officers have dedicated their lives to keeping us safe, and helping us in times of need,” said Gov. Tomblin before signing the veto. “Now it’s time for us to return the favor and veto House Bill 4145 for the safety of our law enforcement officers and all West Virginians.”

It is a good weekend to live in the Mountaineer State. I just wish I didn't live in the little sliver between Virginia and Maryland. I still can't carry in the People's Republic of Maryland and I will have to renew to conceal carry in Virginia. I can also concealed carry, with a WV permit, in Pennsylvania but I have to go through the PRM to get there. I still can't believe that jackass Tomblin is trying to make the case that WV LEOs wanted him to veto it. The exact opposite is the case. Most LEOs in WV are very much in favor of the 2nd Amendment and concealed carry.
