CHARLESTON, WV (AP) — The West Virginia Legislature is
taking a major step toward abolishing a handful of local government
firearm ordinances.
The House of Delegates expects to vote Monday
on a measure that makes clear that all such laws must be enacted at the
state level.
Supporters say the goal is a uniform set of
regulations for the entire state. They also see the measure as affirming
the 2nd Amendment.
Ordinances that would be struck down include
several enacted by Charleston in the 1990s. These limit handgun
purchases to one per month, and require the buyer to wait 72 hours
before receiving the weapon.
Charleston officials say their
ordinances targeted people who buy multiple guns on behalf of somebody
else. The guns then command high prices in areas with strict gun laws.
