Extend the CCW permit payment waiver for Veterans to Active Duty

HB 4186 would amend West Virginia law to extend the existing fee waiver for concealed carry permits (CCW) from veterans to active-duty military personnel. Currently, veterans are exempt from the $50 resident or $100 non-resident application fee for a CCW permit, and this bill would add active-duty service members to that exemption. The key provision modifies the eligibility criteria to include active-duty status, meaning active-duty members would no longer pay the application fee when applying for a concealed carry license. This change directly affects active-duty military members residing in West Virginia who seek a concealed carry permit.
