Shoot 'em if you got 'em.

From Think Progress, dated 6 March 2016:

"Gun owners in West Virginia will no longer need to get a permit to have a concealed weapon, putting it among the most far-reaching states for gun rights. The House voted on the measure Friday and officially overrode a gubernatorial veto on Saturday.

When the law kicks in on May 26, West Virginia will become one of eight states that allow concealed carry without a permit. Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Vermont, and Wyoming are so-called constitutional carry states. In Wyoming, the law applies to residents only."

Okay, I understand Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, West Virginia, and Wyoming. But what the hell's going on with Maine and Vermont?

A poll taken in West Virginia last February showed 71 percent of the state's voters thought a permit should be required for concealed carry. Apparently the West Virginia legislature is much more fucked up than the population as a whole.
