What type of firearm safety training is required for a concealed carry permit in West Virginia?

  1. NRA firearms safety or training course

  2. Any firearms training course conducted by a state-certified instructor

  3. A self-study firearms safety course approved by the state

  4. West Virginia does not require firearm safety training

The correct answer is: Any firearms training course conducted by a state-certified instructor

In West Virginia, a concealed carry permit requires completion of any firearms training course conducted by a state-certified instructor. Option A, a NRA firearms safety or training course, may be accepted in some states but is not specified as a requirement in West Virginia. Option C, a self-study firearms safety course approved by the state, may also be accepted in some states but is not specified as a requirement in West Virginia. Option D, West Virginia does not require firearm safety training, is incorrect as the state does have a training requirement for a concealed carry permit.
