West Virginia Just Gave 18-Year-Olds Their Gun Rights Back
About this video
Colion breaks down West Virginia’s HB 4106, which he reports expanded constitutional carry to include 18-20-year-olds for concealed carry. He argues this simply aligns concealed carry with the state’s existing open carry law for that age group. Colion contends that adults old enough to vote, sign contracts, and serve in the military should be trusted to carry concealed firearms for self-defense, and he criticizes what he views as inconsistent age-based restrictions on Second Amendment rights.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues that West Virginia’s new law eliminates an inconsistency by allowing 18-20-year-olds to conceal carry, matching rights they already had for open carry
- Colion maintains that legal adults in this age group should not require government permission or mandatory training to exercise what he sees as a constitutional right
- Colion contends that criminals already carry illegally regardless of permit laws, and that lawful carry by young adults levels the playing field for self-defense
