I'm a military veteran (U.S. Army 10 years) who recently moved to West Virginia and am in the process of applying for a concealed carry permit.
I'm doing some research on how to go about this but I'm finding conflicting information as to whether myservice in the Army and weapons safety training count towards my firearms traning requirements when applying for a concealed carry permit.
Whilein the Army I trained in and actually conducted weapons training on a variety of firearms (i.e. .45, M16, M60). However, other than M16 rifle (qualified as expert), none of them appear in my service record as I did these things on my own.
If I read the statue correctly I beleiev it reads something along the lines of "firearms or safetytraining."
But then I've also read places where it says that merely servingin the military doesn't count towards the required training for concealed carry.
Can someone clarify for me which is correct? Do military vets still need to get some sort of redundant firearm safety training.
Thanks all.
Best,
Chase
