Are West Virginia residents allowed to open carry a firearm without a permit?

Yes, without any restrictions
Yes, but only in rural areas
No
Yes, but not in cities or towns

The correct answer is: Yes, without any restrictions

Some states require a permit to carry a firearm, but West Virginia follows a constitutional carry policy which allows residents to open carry without a permit. This means that residents can openly display a firearm in public without having to obtain a special permit. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they imply that there are restrictions on open carry in West Virginia, which is not the case.
