There were a few reasonable restrictions, but, in general, no longer were special permits and\/or fees required. The legislative session ended and the bill went to the Governors desk.<\/p>\n<p>And Then&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/wvmetronews.com\/2015\/03\/20\/gov-tomblin-vetoes-concealed-carry-bill\/\">This afternoon the Governor vetoed the bill.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The nature of the process is that it won&#8217;t be up for a vote again until the next legislative session &#8211; practically speaking\u00a0 that means next year.<\/p>\n<p>Curiously, West Virgina is already an open-carry state. One could carry a side arm in a holster, BUT you need a special permit\u00a0 to wear a coat that might cover the thing.<\/p>\n<p>Really! It is THAT simple folks.\u00a0 Not simply carrying a weapon &#8211; that&#8217;s okay&#8230; but throw on a coat to be warm, or a raincoat to be dry, and VIOLA yer a criminal.<\/p>\n<p>I know it is just politics as usual. Still, I&#8217;ve been trying to figure out whether to giggle at the absurdity of this situation or just sit and mumble curses in the general direction of Charleston.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Virginia almost became a safer place to live today.\u00a0 Our state legislators had passed a &hellip; <a title=\"But I&#8217;m Feeling MUCH Better Now\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=58826\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">But I&#8217;m Feeling MUCH Better Now<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":467,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[172,82,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geezer-alert","category-gun-grabbing-fascists","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/467"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58826\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
