A friend was informing me that WV is a NICS exempt state with a valid CCW. Does anyone know if this is only valid for WV issued CCW or is it valid for any state that they have a reciprocity with?

Can a West Virginia Concealed Handgun License Be Used in lieu of a Federal Background Check for Firearm Purchases?
Yes. Thanks to HB 4186 passed during the 2014 Legislative Session, a concealed handgun license issued on or after June 4, 2014 qualifies for exemption from the NICS background check. It should be noted, however, that it is not mandatory for FFL dealers to honor this. They may elect to run a NICS check anyway, regardless of the fact that it is not required by law if your CHL qualifies you for NICS bypass.
