Senators approved a bill Friday that could make West Virginia the sixth state to allow residents to carry a concealed firearm without a permit. After reading aloud from the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, senators voted 32-2 for a bill (SB347) that allows people 18 and older to tote concealed guns. “The bill eliminates the crime of carrying a concealed weapon in West Virginia,” said Sen. Charles Trump, R-Morgan. The legislation next goes to the House of Delegates. Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Vermont and Wyoming are the only states that allow residents to carry a hidden gun without a permit. West Virginia already allows open carry of a handgun without a permit. West Virginia law enforcement officials have expressed concern about the bill. They said the legislation could put officers more at risk. They also noted that the weapons-permit fees generate funds for sheriff’s departments across the state. Last year, the permits raised $3.4 million for the departments. However, senators who supported the bill kept coming back to the Second Amendment. “This is a United States constitutional right,” said Robert Karnes, R-Upshur. “The Second Amendment recognizes this inherent right.” Sens. Corey Palumbo, D-Kanawha, and Ron Miller, D-Greenbrier, voted against the bill. Sen. Mike Romano, D-Harrison, supported the concealed-carry permit repeal, but first offered what he called “common-sense” revisions that his colleagues ultimately rejected. Romano wanted to require that residents be at least 21 years old before they could carry a handgun without a permit. “To carry a .357 Magnum, we really should require them to be 21 years of age,” Romano said. But other senators said a 21-and-up age limit was “arbitrary.” “At the age of 18, we’re talking about parents of small children,” Karnes said. “And we’re going to say an 18-year-old who is able to enter into the contract of marriage, to have children, is not responsible enough to defend the family that he has?” Romano also wanted to require people to take a handgun safety course before they could carry a concealed weapon. Karnes argued that the training requirement was a “backdoor licensing scheme,” and senators voted down the amendment. Romano later voted for the bill that didn’t include any of his suggested changes. “I concluded long ago that the permitting process through the sheriff’s department is simply a hurdle for law-abiding citizens who carry a gun,” Romano said. “Criminals will carry a gun regardless of the process.”

In the county I worked for, all the pistol permit fees went to and were payable to the county clerk. The sheriff's department was only expected to do backgrounds on the applicants. It literally took money out of the budget by tying up officers time. After the UnSafeAct was passed, people flooded the clerk with so many applications, that background checks were handed out to even the road patrol officers. Pistol permits, licenses or any regulation is bullshit. Constitutional carry is the model every state should follow.

Isn't that something like a slave renting their freedom? But they're still in the slave catcher database (Utah data center/DHS).
Sounds a little like paying higher taxes (than almost anywhere else) for the honor of living in California. What state do you live in?

I got a permit to purchase a handgun handwritten by the sheriff. I chatted with him for half an hour or so, told him I wanted a handgun because the district had elected a pinko congresscritter that had no regard for gun rights and might agitate for a gungrab and that I also wanted one because I lived in a very isolated rural place. There was no charge. The permit requirement was just so a sheriff would be able to put the brakes on people with obvious mental problems. It was not a pistol permit as is common in some states. It was a permit to buy a handgun from a retail vendor. AFAIK, buying a gun via private sale was not covered by the law. It was a one-time permit to be able to buy the handgun and didn't need renewal.
You have it better than where I policed. After you pay 125.00 to the clerk for the application, then you pay 50.00 to the clerk for your fingerprints. After the pistol permit is approved by the county judge, you have to pay the county clerk 5.00 to get a signed coupon for each gun you want to buy. The only decent part of all that tyranny, was the pistol permits were lifetime unless revoked. The UnSafeAct changed all that. Cuomo can go F*** hinself

Fingerprinted like some criminal? No thanks. Midwesterners get kinda uppity at even the suggestion.
The California Republic. No CCW fees here. Everything is illegal, which is the same thing as nothing being illegal or enforceable. It sucks, tell all of your friends. The good news is... most retired NY fags move somewhere else.
That's right... California has the highest populations of fruits and nuts... you don't need any NY fags. Hell, your nazi metropolis even has cornered the market on serial killers.

Ranks top 5 in highest taxes High crime Huge huge huge state debt... lots of red Ranks among highest in gangs, illegals. High welfare, homeless and unemployment Worst statist gun laws and ammo bans. Shit, even Glock Gen 3's and 4's are outlawed. Thumbhole stocks... 50 calibers. Let's face it. It's a lost cause... it's like New York but with cold weather, earthquakes and smelly hippies.

You were in the Navy,so your fingerprints are already on file. You have nothing to lose.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
No, they aren't.
Yeah,they are. Everybody in the military that had a security clearance has their fingerprints on file. Maybe even those who didn't have security clearances,for all I know. I had a Secret clearance when I was a Private E-2 because I was trained to work with cryptographic machines and code pads,and everybody in SF has a Secret or Top Secret security clearance. It's a basic requirement. I may be wrong,but I THINK I have read that the military now even keeps DNA samples from all service members in order to make their remains identifiable if needed in the future. Or are you trying to tell us that you were a Naval officer without a security clearance? Or that security clearances weren't a requirement for Naval officers?

They started collecting DNA samples about 18-20 years ago.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
So what would you think of a mandatory one time class that would teach you how to carry and use a handgun responsibly? Especially the legal aspects of your actions if you have to use it. There are some people out there who have no clue whatsoever and would be more dangerous to innocents than to bad guys.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
I don't mind the idea... I'm concerned in two areas over the idea. 1) Can we trust any government, Fed, State or local, that hosts such a training, to not track or compile personal info from class applicants, for the purpose of knowing who is armed with handguns? 2) Who pays for the training, and I don't want another government agency responsible for the task or an existing growing bigger to handle the task. If those can be solved, great idea. I've seen some pretty poor firearm handling skills in my time.

There are some people out there who have no clue whatsoever and would be more dangerous to innocents than to bad guys. I think everyone if they have one brain cell, should take a certified NRA safety and shooting class. It's just responsible gun ownership and citizenship. Did I say mandatory? No! Just responsible. Especially for those who have not handled guns in their civilian, military or law enforcement lives. Nothing worse than some idiot who just got a 'new toy' going around like John Wayne.

A classic. LOL.
Many states have training for all young people getting hunting licenses. Like between ages 10 to 30. Above 30, they don't have to take the class. To actually hunt, a 10yo has to be accompanied by a trained hunter who is certified and is at least 18yo and he can only take out one apprentice hunter at a time. I find this a little restrictive but most states that go in this direction have very few complaints. Often, these classes are conducted by local sheriffs or deputies for free or for a modest fee. Some states have the same kind of system for bow certification and apprentice hunting for young bow hunters. I recall a friend of mine and how he bragged that his daughter out-scored and out-shot the dozen 10yo boys that she took the class with. But then, I also recalled her at age seven walking around in her little purple eyeglasses with her favorite dolly in one hand and her .22 rifle in the other, out to hunt with her dad. Couldn't have been any cuter.
We need more young ladies like!

Wouldn't they pretty much have to have your fingerprints on file so they could eliminate them at crime scenes? I honestly don't have a clue why anybody would worry about the government having their fingerprints on file unless they are or plan on being career criminals. It ain't like cops stop you on the street at random and take your fingerprints to see if you are who you say you are.

It has been MY experience that these people are afraid of guns,realize they know nothing about how to handle these dangerous instruments,and look up people like me who are more experienced with them for training and advise. Sadly,they usually don't listen to my advise about what to buy and carry because they always want to have what the cops and action star tv and movie guys carry. Had one woman in her late 50's who had never shot or even held a handgun before insist on buying a 1911A1 because that is what I was carrying,and there wasn't a thing in the world I could say to her to convince her that wasn't a "beginner's gun". Other than that they do listen about safe handling.

No. They are governments,and governments are bureaucracies that love paperwork and records like the Pope loves God. They just can't help themselves. Why not let gun shops offer firearms training,and insist any records they keep be kept private without individual warrants? Even if they aren't interested themselves,they definitely have a customer base they can tap into that would be willing to take on part-time jobs teaching firearms safety and shooting.

The only time a department would require fingerprints or DNA from an officer, is if they contaminated a scene while investigating it. They do fingerprints now for new hires for crime checks. To make sure a new hire doesn't have a print that matches a hit on a nationwide data base.

You aint that old yet pete, as stubborn as you are you'll live to be at least 90! BTW you're only as old as you act. The one question I have is do they keep these DNA samples forever or do they get rid of them after you get out or retire? And if they do keep them can the government use them against you in any criminal case they may bring against you? Cause at the time they were taken they were "not voluntarily" taken?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
When I find someone who wants to learn to shoot and buy a handgun I tell them the first thing they need to do is learn to shoot with a .22 (especially women). Hopefully they know someone that has one they can use to learn with but if not then go to the local gun shops and find something that fits their hand really well, is comfortable. Once they have done that then some gun shops that have ranges will let you take that weapon for a "test ride" for a nominal fee. After they have learned how to shoot then repeat the gun shop process to find the weapon they want in the physical size and caliber they want. I've taught I don't know how many women to shoot and this seems to work the best. Most women are naturally afraid of weapons and if you take one out to shoot with a .38 or a 9MM they first time around you usually do nothing but reinforce to them "WHY" they are afraid of weapons, that's why I start with the .22. This way they "usually" find out that shooting is fun and or more willing to progress to the larger calibers, big enough for CCW.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
You should assume they'll keep them forever. If nothing else, some bureaucrat in charge of the Pentagon's Department Of DNA Records will argue that it's valuable scientific information and represents valuable government research materials. And request more funding to handle storing and filing the info. I'm only half-kidding here.
Beats me,but since it is the government we are talking about and they employ whole hordes of people to maintain and shuffle records,my guess would be "you bet your bippy!" Bureaucracies have to have records ripped from their cold,dead fingers. It's the nature of the beast. And if they do keep them can the government use them against you in any criminal case they may bring against you? I am not a lawyur and don't even play one on teebee,but my best guess would be "Hell YEAH!" when it comes to federal cases. Non-federal criminal cases would probably require a warrant. Cause at the time they were taken they were "not voluntarily" taken? They WERE voluntarily taken. These people enlisted,and voluntarily signed a contract that had collecting DNA as a part of the deal.

I always carried a variety of handguns and calibers to these classes so they could see what fit their hand the best,felt the best,fit in their purses the best,and were the most comfortable for them to shoot. Frankly,I always started out with a 30's S&W 22 caliber Kit Gun. This later became known as the K-22 and was built on the full-sized 38 Special frame. With that weight,the adjustable sights,and the 6 inch barrel,recoil and noise was never a problem for any of them with the 22. Then I went up to a PPK or Beretta .380,a P-35 Browning in 9mm,a Khar-9 pocket pistol,38 Special,357 Magnum,44 Special,and my custom combat commander 45 acp that I built myself. Even though I ALWAYS insisted they understand that a double action revolver was safer for novices to carry or use for home defense,I thought they needed to see and understand the mechanical complications of auto-loaders. That way when I pointed out to them that revolvers didn't have safeties to remember to take off before firing,and that you could tell if one was loaded or not by glancing at it without having to leverage anything,it made sense to them. Or to most of them,anyway. The granny that ended up buying the full-sized 1911A1 wanted to learn to shoot and buy a guy that she could keep in her apron pocket while she was running her retail shop. She obviously needed something small and lightweight,so I tried to talk her into a hammerless 38 Special,or one with a hammer shroud so she could have the gun in her hand if someone made her suspiscious without having to take it out of her apron and pointing it at them,and if push came to shove,she could shoot it right through the apron pocket without having a jam from the slide grabbing the apron cloth when it went back. It didn't make a nickel's worth of difference to her. She still bought the 1911A1. About 2 years later she called me about 2 AM one morning and whispered to me that her husgand was working out of town,she was all alone in the house,and she thought somebody had broken into her house downstairs. She wanted to know how to load her 1911A1 because DESPITE my repeating over and over that a unloaded gun is nothing but an expensive club,she was afraid of leaving it loaded in her dresser drawer. I guess she thought it would open the drawer one night all by itself and go on a killing spree. Anyhow,I told her how to load it and then called her local police chief (a friend of mine and her husbands) and asked him to send somebody around to CAREFULLY check on her because she was scared and had a loaded gun. Maybe 15 yeas has passed since then,and AFAIK she still has that 1911A1 and still doesn't have a 38 revolver. You can lead a horse to water........

You can bet money on it,and in this case he would be right. I have no doubt at all that in the near future deceased homeless people as well as murder and accident victims will be identified by the DNA samples they gave in the military. And request more funding to handle storing and filing the info. The most accurate statement anyone has ever written. Rates right up there with "The sun will rise in the east."

The DoD established a program to take samples in 1991. "As of December 2002, the Repository, now known as the “Armed Forces Repository of Specimen Samples for the Identification of Remains,” contained the DNA of approximately 3.2 million service members." They get everybody on entry these days.
And if they do keep them can the government use them against you in any criminal case they may bring against you?

Sound to me like, in practice, the Pentagon would have a lot of discretion in allowing their samples to be used for civilian police investigations.
Thanks for the definitive answer to the question.

Leave the training in the hands of the Certified CCW trainers which in my area are just normal run of the mill citizens, not a government agency. They would keep track of your training, issue you a certificate of completion for you to have and the only way those records would only be available to the authorities is if you are arrested/convicted of a weapons related incident and they would be used for acquitting/sentencing purposes. Sound feasible or am I overlooking something?
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
The person who wants to carry the weapon, somewhere around $75 - 125 which is the current typical cost for CCW training. For those who are proficient they could demonstrate that at the beginning of the class, and would only have to sit thru the lectures and be charged less. If you are a beginner then you have to go thru both the lectures and safety training and pay the full fee.

As they do with our finger prints on file. All but a few MOSs require a security clearance. Thus finger prints are provided. That gets stored in the national database. Why you see all those CSI or NCIS shows have someone say "let me check the military and federal worker database." That I believe is pretty accurate.

Some manufacturers now make .22 caliber versions of larger caliber weapons like 1911s, Sig Sauers and a few others. Or they make what they call a .22 adapter kit and you use the same frame for both/multiple calibers. Makes learning to shoot and practicing with multiple calibers seamless with less transition between the two cause they "feel" the same, which basically they are. And can also save you a bit of money to boot.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Yea I kinda figured that but just had to throw it out there for discussion. The "Pols" are scared of us "Government trained killers/terrorists" and they want to make damn sure they can keep track of us one way or another.

You can't begin to imagine how thrilled I was to have a 21 year old deputy try to jump in my stuff during the qualifications part on the range. He said I "shot too fast" during the "3 shot rapid fire" portion of the qualification and that "shooting wild like that endangers bystanders." Keep in mind I was shooting a much modified Combat Commander that I built myself,and was shooting my own handloads. When I pointed out to him all my shots were in the black,he didn't know what to say. The retired Colonel that was running the range came over to look and listen,and just told the guy to leave me alone. I was doing a lot of snap shooting at that time,and was shooting that combination so much I normally kept 1,000 loaded rounds laying around,and another 1,000 empty cases in a box by my tv chair so I could prime them while watching tv. I practiced by tossing golf balls around in the yard,and the spinning around and taking snap shots at them as quickly as I could move the muzzle and pull the trigger. I have shot running snakes 15-20 feet away with that combination. And this kid was coming over to tell me I didn't know what I was doing and that I was doing unsafe things. And the worse part was I had to pay him 125 bucks to listen to his crap.

Sounds to me like, in practice, if TPTB want the info released, it will be released, and if they want if withheld, there is ample room to state a reason to withhold it. Think of it being about as private and secure as a social security number for social security purposes only.
I may be wrong,but I think Colt was doing that back in the 30's. I know they were doing it in the 50's because I was using that to bypass my father's excuse to not buy me a surplus 1911A1 because "the ammunition is too expensive". Didn't work,but I was trying. Couldn't get him to buy me a match grade Springfield,either. IIRC,they were less than 15 bucks delivered at the time. With my love of bolt action rifles and historic military rifles,if he had bought one,I would still have it today. IMHO,the 03 versions of the Springfield were the best damn bolt rifles ever made for open sight shooting,and back then my eyes were plenty good for shooting it at pretty much any range it would carry. I still don't like scopes,but if I ever go back to shooting rifles I won't have any choice but to buy and use one.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Which is the way it should be. They should even be afraid of the unarmed and the non-veterans because WE are supposed to be THEIR bosses,and supposed to have the power to both remove them from office at any time,and to make them serve time in federal prisons. THAT is "American as it should be".

Actually, I did think of that comparison. It's as legal and private as the elites say it is. And can change at any time, no matter what solemn assurances and laws supposedly protect its confidentiality and exclusive use for its lawful purpose.

I don't know the current standard, but you should assume they will keep them for at least 50 years. That was the standard in 1998. http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=41418 Who Are You? DNA Registry Knows By Douglas J. Gillert ROCKVILLE, Md., July 13, 1998 – Ten minutes by car from this Washington suburb is a deep-freeze warehouse containing foolproof identifications of more than a million soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. In the freezer reside the DNA "fingerprints" of nearly two-thirds of all active duty and reserve component service members. By the turn of the century, everyone in uniform will have a DNA card on file. [...] "This is a very simple program, solely for the identification of remains." Normally, the registry will retain DNA cards for 50 years, the same length of time military medical records are kept on file. Once you complete your full service obligation, you also can request destruction of your DNA record. The required form and instructions are available from: Armed Forces Repository of Specimen Samples for the Identification of Remains
I was on active duty when the military changed from the old service number to using the SSN as the service number. Then I had to put my new service number on all sorts of things like my paycheck if I wanted to cash it.
A friend of mines Dad got a .303 British for $5 or 10, I used to use it for deer hunting when we were stationed together in the U.P. of Michigan. Damn thing had such a straight stock you had to be "neckless" or prone to shoot it, but it was very accurate. :)
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Used to be you had to put your SS number on any checks you wrote on base, they had a list to compare it to to see if your check writing/cashing privileges were OK. Now they just scan your ID card at the register to accomplish the same thing. They also have started scanning your ID at the gate.

Just how old do you think I am? IIRC,we had to qualify at 500 meters with the junk M-14's issued to us in basic training in the 60's. It wasn't a real problem with those junkers,and it would have been a walk in the park with a O3 or Garand.

It would also beat you to death with that straight stock and he brass buttplates. I remember when I could have bought a "as new issue" SMLE Mk4 Jungle Carbine from the back cover of Guns magazine for $12.95,including shipping. The problem was I was 10-12 years old,and didn't have $12.95.

Don't a lot of them recommend using CCIs? I've used 60 grain subsonics in my Ruger MkIII and haven't had any issues with functioning. But something blowback or with a heavier bolt/slide I could see functioning issues arising.

Yeah, but most of the shooters I know that use 22 conversions in 1911's try and get away with the cheapest .22 you can buy.

With .22 prices nowadays I can see that happening. In fact I haven't seen any CCIs for less than $8 a 50 round box in quite sometime.

I had one complain when I was out shooting the bow, but then again that family is a bunch of "scared of their own shadow" idiots. Wish I lived just a little further out than I do and had at least 10 acres, a 500 yd range would fit quite nicely on that don't you think? :)

As you said, qualifying was pretty easy with the '06 Garand, even though they were pretty beat up WW II rifles. This was in 1955. I bought a SMLE 303 in '58 for $9.95. Good rifle for deer.

If so you were probably still shooting stationary bulls eye targets. We were using pop-up targets when shooting out to 500 yards in the 60's. IIRC,there was even a segment where you went walking on a path and targets would pop up anywhere from 25 to 500 yards,and you had a set time to knock them down,along with a set number of rounds. Given the state of exhaustion basic trainees were under after double-timing out to the range and getting no sleep,it wasn't as easy as it might have been.

Yup. I had to get one of those new confangled cards in 2011. They will not accept the old ones anymore. They have discontinued using the SSN as a service number. I was a 7-digit SN, then a 9-digit SSN, and now a 10-digit DoD ID Number.
I will have to check. It may have been the level of security clearance. But I assumed you had to have the same level.
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:6-7)
Well yes back when you served with Knox and Hamilton that was probably SOP:) But yes you probably did. Now when you get a CAC card ID you provide one pointer finger electronic print. But not the full ten fingers like I did for my clearance .
"Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1 Timothy 6:6-7)
Hmmm, I'm still using the Blue card I was issued in 2009 when my other card that was issued when I retired started to delaminate. It still has my SS# on it. But I do remember seeing people with the new cards before they issued me the blue one. Seems to me my brother in law who is a retired officer had the new card before I got my latest blue one and redleghunter was an officer so I guess my next question would be were you an officer too? Might explain why the difference in cards since I was enlisted.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
No all of our 'blue' retired cards are the same. Only difference is you need to get a new blue card. If you want to get on most installations now you need a blue card with the DoD ID number. TRICARE is now tracking claims with the DoD number. But I think there is a grace period. Have some older Vets I blog with in the DC area. They all had to get the new DoD ID number blue cards (same card different number:)) to get on the various Beltway military bases/posts. I would just call your local ID card section to find out the deal.
