Gun Sign Requirements and Limitations

January 13, 2016

In West Virginia, “No Firearm” signs have no force of law unless it is specifically posted and mentioned in State Law that it is off limits to those with permit/license to carry.

If a person go to a place where there is a sign but not mentioned in the law and ask that person to leave, then he/she must leave at once, otherwise, it will be considered as breaking the law thus the person can be charged. Even without a sign, if the owner of the property asks the other person to leave, then he/she has to leave.

Handgunlaw.us always recommends that a person must not enter any private premises especially with “No Firearm” sign no matter what the state law means as a sign of respect to the rights of the owners to control their own property.
