SB435: This was originally the Home Rule bill, but Del. Patrick Lane amended it with HB2760 (preemption). HB2760 was previously dead in the senate committee due to a couple of anti-gun senators. The preemption repeals grandfathered municipal gun laws and prevents other state municipalities from enacting any anti 2A ordinances.
HB2471: Speaker Rick Thompson's bill prevents firearms or ammunition confiscations during a time of emergency. This is the "Hurricane Katrina" bill. Jackbooted thugs will not be allowed to storm your home and confiscate your firearms during a state of emergency as happened during Hurricane Katrina.
SB369: Senator John Unger's bill makes it legal for the Attorney General to enter into a concealed carry reciprocity agreement with any state that is willing to sign. It takes away onerous restrictions we placed on other states, making them ineligible to join with us. At the least, I would expect this to allow the AG's office to add Georgia and Alabama to our list of reciprocal states.
HB2866: Delegate Bill Hamilton's bill makes a change to the 500 foot rule. It is currently illegal in West Virginia to discharge a firearm within 500 feet of a building or structure. There is no exception for your own house. So if your nearest neighbor is six miles away, it would still be illegal to shoot within 500 feet of your own house. This bill makes an exception for your own property, as long as no one else's house or structure is within 500 feet of you. It is a simple change, but it makes sense and is long overdue.
HB2431: Delegate Rupie Phillips bill cleans up the CCW process, and allows for people with old and expunged disqualifying convictions a path to restoring their Second Amendment rights.
Thanks to Delegates and Senators who were on our side. And thanks to all my fellow WVCDL members and leadership who put boots on the ground to make this happen.
