Attorney General McGraw Announces Handgun Reciprocity Agreement with Pennsylvania

Charleston – Attorney General Darrell McGraw announced today that he has entered into a concealed handgun reciprocity agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

“Residents of West Virginia and Pennsylvania who are age 21 and older, who hold valid concealed licenses or permits issued in their home state may now carry concealed handguns in each state,” stated McGraw. “It is important for licensees to remember to have their license in their possession and when in a reciprocating state the licensee is bound by the laws of that state relating to concealed handguns,” said McGraw.

Information relating to West Virginia handgun laws generally and reciprocity and recognition of state law licenses is available on the Attorney General’s website: www.wvago.gov
