A BILL to amend article two, chapter twenty of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated section six-a, relating to permitting persons licensed to carry a concealed handgun to carry the weapon while hunting and while engaged in other activities where a firearm is otherwise prohibited.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

ARTICLE 2. WILDLIFE RESOURCES.

§20-2-6a. Carrying a concealed handgun.

Any person licensed to carry a concealed handgun under the provisions of section four, article seven, chapter sixty of this code may carry a handgun in a concealed manner while in or on a motor vehicle or while hunting, hiking, camping or otherwise afield.
