Since May 2016, West Virginians aged 21 and older who can legally possess a firearm may carry concealed without a license. The Cabell County Sheriff issues a concealed handgun license, which is optional but beneficial for interstate travel. Adults aged 18 to 20 can apply for a provisional license, which requires a qualifying firearms training course. Schools, courthouses, and posted private property remain off limits.
