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 |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
