Not glad about the total, not including one time course, is $110, but after reading how others are getting charged, we are not that bad. I would love it to be $20 too although I do think it should be free minus the actual cost of the background check. Other tax payers shouldn't pay for my...

My NRA instructor swears by a 22 mag and carries one himself. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

Welcome! I am in WV too. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

I am really narrowing it down! I am going to look at a Ruger SP101 .357 with a 3" barrel and see how it fits my hand. I plan to carry with a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB holster. I need to buy some more pants anyway, so I will go 2" larger. I will get an OWB one too for open carry in and around the...

Wow! I am so glad to live in WV. 1. No fingerprinting 2. No listing serial numbers of guns 3. No limiting CCW to certain guns 4. No being limited to the caliber in which you qualified 5. Permit is recognized by most (35) of the states 6. The law is that permits must be issued if no background...

Ruger SP101 model 5771! Yum, I am going to have to handle it this weekend! Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

I appreciate the suggestions! I will have a look at all of them. I am not interested in pocket carry. I may get a .357 and load it with three .38 and two .357 bullets. If there is more than one person, the second one will wish he was the first. I may get a snub nosed .22 magnum for an ankle...

In a neighboring county that has the WV capital city, it takes up to 60 days. I like my county timing better. A friend at church in the other county applied before me and I will likely get mine first. Now to use the time to find a carry weapon. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

I am going to buy my first hand gun for CCW and am following this closely. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

I went to my County Sheriff's Office, paid the $110 and signed my application with a copy of my drivers license and training certificate. I opted for the photo permit, which is similar to a drivers license, so they took my picture too. My county collects the full amount up front and mails you...

I thought of a snub nose revolver, but am thinking something with a 3.5 to 4 inch barrel would be a much better choice. A thinner body seems more important than a shorter barrel for CCW. I am 6"2", so I would think a slightly longer barrel wouldn't be an issue concealing. Thoughts on the merits...

Nope for me. I tend to stay away at night as I don't do things to put me in harm's way. I am more likely to be attacked during the day when I am out. In bright sunlight, the laser would be useless. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

I have a friend with a .40 I can shoot. My dad has a .45 and .357 I can shoot. No one I know has a 9 mm. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

CCW doesn't cancel out the right to open carry as my instructor said. WV is an open carry state. If in my yard or going to my mailbox, I have no problem open carrying. I see no reason to go concealed on my property and our state legislature agrees. I do not understand the aversion to seeing a...

If carrying .22, at least go with a .22 magnum. As to a 100 yard shot, I am confident in my ability to get to safety without firing a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

We believe in the second amendment in WV. I guess Maryland just wants to continue their controlling ways. Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed

It is a concealed carry training and safety course. The certificate is good for the application, but it only list that the instructor is an NRA instructor. The certificate doesn't say it was an NRA course. I think that is the source of the confusion. Sheriff offices accept it for the purpose of...

NRA trained certificate on hand and WV Concealed Carry Application filled out, except submission date, signature and date. Thinking of a S&W 351PD .22 magnum and a S&W M&P Shield .40 (or Glock 23). Sent from my iPhone using Link Removed
