I was wondering if it is legal to open carry a handgun in WVwhile training coondogs on either public grounds, or private farms, or if they would assume I as poaching?I am not interested in shooting any coons out of season, but if legal, I would really like to have a handgun around when out in the woods. I had a pup grabbed by a coyote right out from under my friends feet one time while squirrel hunting. Fortunately he had #6 shot ready in his over under 12 gauge and peppered him pretty good. Sometimes I go to WV just to spectate, and thisI think would be legal to open carry because I'm not really engaged in the hunt. Not sure but any one who knows would be much appreciated if they respond with appropriate statutes.
