Are there any areas where carrying firearms is prohibited in West Virginia, even with a concealed carry permit?

  1. No

  2. Yes, in federal buildings and schools

  3. Yes, but only in private businesses

  4. Yes, but only in government buildings

The correct answer is: Yes, in federal buildings and schools

In West Virginia, carrying firearms is generally allowed with a concealed carry permit. However, there are still certain areas where carrying firearms is prohibited, regardless of whether or not you have a permit. These areas include federal buildings and schools, which are regulated by federal laws. This means even if you have a valid permit, you are not allowed to bring firearms into these locations. Therefore, the correct option is B. Options C and D are incorrect because they do not encompass all the areas where carrying firearms is prohibited, and option A is incorrect because it implies that there are no restrictions on carrying firearms with a permit, which is not true.
