West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey led five states in a motion for review of a decision made by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals holding that a pat down is permitted based solely upon a reasonable suspicion that an individual is armed.
The court’s decision will directly affect West Virginia gun owners and carriers, according to Morrisey.
“It is wrong to deem an individual dangerous solely because they are armed,” Morrisey said. “I respect the right of innocent gun owners to carry their weapon without the fear of being unreasonably searched.” |

| Indeed. The U.S. 4th Circuit needs to be reined in. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
