By 2013, that number had skyrocketed to 44,981. Since 2009, over 125,000 permits have been issued.<\/p>\n<p>While state police don&#8217;t have clear answers on why the numbers spiked, they like the idea that more good guys are opting to arm themselves in public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat you have to remember is these are law-abiding citizens going through the proper process,\u201d said Lt. Michael Baylous, spokesman for the West Virginia State Police. \u201cThe criminals don\u2019t go through the proper process to get a permit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we encounter more people in traffic stops who have weapons? That might be fair to say,\u201d Baylous continued. \u201cBut nine times out of 10, they do the right thing and inform us they\u2019re carrying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To obtain a CCW permit in the Mountain State, which expire after five years, one needs to be 21 years of age or older, complete a firearms safety course, pass a background check, and pay a fee of $75 upon applying and a $25 fee once the permit is issued.<\/p>\n<p>Fees on CCW permits raised $4.4 million for the state in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>From Lt. Baylous perspective, the numbers have led to an increase in instances of self-defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust from what I\u2019ve seen, I have seen more people standing up and protecting themselves,\u201d he said, adding, &#8220;It\u2019s clear to me, just from the position I\u2019m in, the moral fabric of our country seems to be wearing thin, and you see more heinous acts being committed each day. (Carrying a concealed weapon) is a personal choice, and I see why more people might be making that choice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past five years, the number of concealed carry permits issued in West Virginia has quadrupled!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":18601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-23375","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CWW permits issued in W.V. quadrupled in 5 years<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Over the past five years, the number of concealed carry permits issued in West Virginia has quadrupled!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/cww-permits-issued-w-v-quadrupled-5-years\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CWW permits issued in W.V. quadrupled in 5 years\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Over the past five years, the number of concealed carry permits issued in West Virginia has quadrupled!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/cww-permits-issued-w-v-quadrupled-5-years\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-08-13T19:08:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-17T12:13:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/DE1911R-CONCEAL-01-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1199\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"737\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
