Since I'm new to this area (been living in Colorado last few years, and grew up in Baltimore)
I decided to check out a local gun store in Morgantown, WV.
I cant remember the name of it, but its located on Collins Ferry Rd.
The shop owner is very nice and has an indoor range which in only $7.50 per hour to shoot there. Thats a great rate IMO.
Anyhow, I asked him about OC'ing in Morgantown and statewide in WV.
He said:
"Well, I dont advise it. They wont arrest you. But you WILL get harassed by the Police. And why would you let someone have the chance of taking your gun away from you and maybe shooting someone with it?"
I was polite and responded with: "If that were the case, there would be a whole lot of Police Officers having their guns taken off of their hip all the time"
But we both agreed to disagree. But its good to know that he has some experience with OC'ing and some first hand knowledge that OC'ers wont be arrested.
Once my new holster comes in, I'm going to give it a try in Morgantown.
Anyone have some experience Open carrying in Morgantown? Ever have any problems?
