West Virginia Bill Lets 18-20YOs Carry Concealed Guns

West Virginias controversial bill to allow eighteen- to twenty-year-olds to carry concealed handguns without a permit is advancing rapidly through the legislature. The Senate Finance Committee has approved the bill, which eliminates background checks and safety training for this age group. The bill, which includes provisions for military members, is set to be voted on by the full Senate on Friday. However, the bill has faced opposition from a retired pediatrician who warned of potential tragedies due to lack of safety training. The bills fate now hangs on the upcoming vote.
