West Virginia Permitless Carry incl. Knives Passed – Knife Rights' Preemption Bill Filed

Governor Tomblin's veto of the Knife Rights supported West Virginia Permitless (Constitutional) Carry bill, HB 4145, was overridden by the Senate and the House and will now become law effective in 90 days on June 3, 2016. The new law allows West Virginians 21 years old and older who are not prohibited persons to carry a concealed "deadly weapon," including knives, without a permit.

However, knife carriers would still face local restrictions on their right to carry a knife. West Virginia's existing preemption law protects firearms owners only.

Knife Rights' bipartisan West Virginia Knife Law Preemption bill, HB 4541, was introduced two weeks ago by sponsor Delegate Rupert Phillips Jr. HB 4541 would ensure that knife carriers don't face local restrictions on their right to carry a knife under HB 4145.

Knife Law Preemption repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state.
Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere in a state.

Knife Rights passed the nation's first Knife Law Preemption bill in Arizona in 2010 and has since passed preemption bills in Alaska, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and most recently in Wisconsin.
