Remember, this is not about hunting or poaching. Because hunting at night is already illegal. They don’t need an extra section in the law. This is about denying you modern defensive technology.

West Virginia –-(Ammoland.com)- Maybe your thinking about owning night vision? Well, the state apparently does not want you to. But they’re not going so far as to just ban night vision.

But they only want to ban it if you happen to have a firearm.

Night vision is very expensive, and extremely useful technology. It gives the night back to mankind. You can use it in a million ways to do a million things in the dark, that you could never before do.

Have you ever looked at the stars with quality night vision? Trust me, the view is stunning.

This bill is guised as a “poaching” bill. But we know better. We can tell because hunting deer at night is already illegal. This is about discouraging the use of night vision among gun owners..

I promise you, if you’re using night vision for whatever reason, and happen to have your concealed carry firearm on you, DNR, or WVSP, or whomever the arresting agency is, will very much appreciate your gift to them. Because they’ll confiscate that night vision right along with your handgun.

Remember, this is not about hunting or poaching. Because hunting at night is already illegal. They don’t need an extra section in the law. This is about denying you modern defensive technology.

There are bills in both houses, and they are poised to run.

Call delegate Allen Evans (R-Grant) at (304) 340-3399, AND send him an email at [email protected]. Remind him that hunting at night is already illegal, and ask him to kill HB2420.

Also call deleate Bill Hamilton (R-Upshur) at (304) 340-3167, and email him at [email protected]. He co-chairs the committee.

Then call and email Senator Robert Karnes (R – Upshur), remind him the same, and ask him to kill SB278. His number is (304) 357-7906 and his email is [email protected]

It’s not illegal to hunt at night as long as your hunting hogs.

Only the State should be allowed to see in the dark.

Just goes to show what kind of idiots we put in Charleston. I helped put Robert Karnes in the Senate this past election by word of mouth telling people how good a person he is. Did I screw up or what? He has been there for a very short time and this is the second stupid thing he has done. Bill Hamilton is another dandy from our County. He was instrumental in getting a bill passed that added a burden on anybody that turns 65 by adding a fee for a hunting and fishing license. We never had one before… Read more »

John, Karnes is a good man and has been in discussion with the WVCDL to make changes regarding this bill.
