The county's page. The Sheriff's Concealed Weapons Permit Application page: "A $50.00 fee for background check and processing is due at the time of application along with a copy of your WV driver's license. No Charge for honorably discharged veterans or retired law enforcement." Renewals and initial applications are processed in person at the Sheriff's Tax Office on the first floor of the old courthouse (304-586-0204); the office notarizes the application and copies documents; the permit arrives by mail. The State rule (see the West Virginia entry on the concealed carry licence fee waiver). Code 61-7-4(q) exempts an honorably discharged veteran of the armed forces, reserves or National Guard from the fees and costs of a resident licence; military handgun training meets the training requirement (61-7-4(e)(4)). Bring the DD-214 showing the honorable discharge. Nonresident licences ($100) are not waived.
