Summary
The bill expands West Virginia’s constitutional‑carry law to include people ages 18 to 20, letting them carry a concealed deadly weapon without a state license. It sets misdemeanor penalties for a first offense and felony penalties for repeat offenses, while preserving existing exemptions for hunting, target shooting, law‑enforcement and other specific situations. The change aims to align the age threshold with that for adults aged 21 and older.
