Today, February 24, leaders in the West Virginia Legislature orchestrated a procedural move to expedite passage of House Bill 4145 and send this important legislation to Governor Earl Ray Tomblin’s desk. However, the fight to defend your Right to Keep and Bear Arms is far from over. Governor Tomblin is expected to veto this legislation next week. Please contact your state Senator and Delegate and politely urge him or her to vote to override Governor Tomblin's expected veto.

As previously reported, HB 4145 is important legislation that would recognize a law-abiding adult's fundamental right to carry a concealed weapon for self-defense without government-mandated taxes and permitting.
