Jim Justice on Gun Control

 

 


Allow permit holders to carry weapons on campus

NRA-ILA statement in support: The Campus Defense Act allows law-abiding carry permit holders to carry on the campus of a state institution of higher education. Current state law does not prohibit carrying of a defensive firearm on campus, but institution policy may lead to expulsion or termination of employment.BestCollges.com statement in opposition: [Three college] presidents said the [the Act would cost] up to $11.6 million to implement the required safeguards; they have "serious reservations" about the significant public safety challenges, and student mental health challenges. [Two other college] presidents asserted that the boards of governors of their respective institutions are best suited to make campus carry decisions; "We do not support statewide campus carry."

>Legislative Outcome: passed Senate 29-4-1 on Jan/24/23; passed House 84-13-2 on Feb/21/23; signed by Governor Jim Justice on Mar/1/23.

The Second Amendment is ingrained in me

I'm a sportsman. I love the outdoors. The second amendment is ingrained in me forevermore. There is no question about it, whether you love me or don't love me. It's just simple fact.
