When is it legal to carry a concealed firearm in West Virginia without a permit?

For anyone over 18
For non-residents only
For residents over 21
Never

The correct answer is: For residents over 21

In West Virginia, it is legal for residents who are over the age of 21 to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Option A is incorrect because it does not specify residency requirement and implies that anyone over 18 can carry a concealed firearm without a permit. Option B is incorrect because it only applies to non-residents, not residents of West Virginia. Option D is incorrect because West Virginia is a "shall issue" state, meaning that certain individuals can obtain a concealed carry permit even if they do not meet the general requirements. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that carrying a concealed firearm is never legal in West Virginia. Overall, the correct answer is C because it specifies the age and residency requirements for legally carrying a concealed firearm without a permit in West Virginia.
