I might be going to Charlton West Virginia for a trip from VA I know its legal for (18+) in VA to OC, but does WV allow for OC from MY STATE?

Be careful that you don't confuse Charles Town with Charleston; they're two different cities.
Pretty difficult to confuse--they are on opposite sides of the state, about 8 hours drive time apart, and one is a TINY little town that is mostly farms and touristy history stuff, whereas the other is the state capitol...
But then again, considering how well "Colt 1911" reads and researches the law, it would be easy to understand how he might get switched around on a map.
Actually, Charleston has a license to carry ordinance that does not distinguish between OC and CC, not an OC ban. See Charleston City Code § 78-163. It is an old ordinance that actually mirrored state law prior to 1988, when the state law was declared unconstitutional. See State ex rel. City of Princeton v. Buckner, 180 W.Va. 457, 377 S.E.2d 139 (1988). Although I don't believe the Charleston LTC ordinance is being enforced against OC, I also don't believe its application to OC has been specifically challenged in court.The family and I will actually be in Charleston this weekend for a family reunion for my wife's side of the family. The wife and I will be CCing because of the local ordinance grandfathered in prohibitting OC in Charleston.
