Did Gov. Jim Justice inadvertently give West Virginia a new state slogan Wednesday when he signed Senate Bill 10, the Campus Self-Defense Act that allows people with concealed carry permits
On this episode of The Legislature Today, it was Crossover Day at the West Virginia Legislature, meaning it was the last day for a bill to be read a third time in its chamber of origin. Chris Schulz talks with Dels. Kayla Young, D-Kanawha, and Evan Hansen, D-Monongalia, about the day’s action.
West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice signed a campus carry bill into law, allowing concealed carry permit holders to carry their firearms on college campuses in the state.
Proponents say this law strengthens Second Amendment protections in West Virginia. But SB10 comes with many questions about implementation and concerns about the limitations on the new self-defense safeguards coming into place.
