"Currently only Kentucky and Virginia recognize a West Virginia concealed weapons permit." ... "The fact that only two states honor West Virginia permits could indicate that past governors didn’t make such agreements a high priority, or the state was being punished for not recognizing out-of-state permits. “Until you allow theirs, they won’t allow yours,” Malte said." While it may be a minor point, both the writer and (not surprisingly) the Brady spokesperson display their ingorance of the way licensing actually works. Reciprocity is hardly the same as recognition. While WV only has reciprocity agreements in place with two states (KY and VA), there are 10 other states that recognize WV's permits without any such agreements, plus VT and AK which don't require any permit.
