I may be moving to Morgantown WV this fall and I am familiar with WV gun laws and I can honestly say its really a great state for gun rights and gun owners.
I often visit WV and OC there all the time. Never once had a problem.

So tonight I go on the Monongalia country Sheriff's website to get their office location in case I will be applying for a concealed handgun license.

As Im browsing the low budget website I notice a "Brady Campaign" image/link. (bottom left)
http://www.monsheriff.com/

Kind of makes me wonder....
Does anyone know if that Sheriff office is particularly anti-gun?

I guess we know who WVCDL should target to defeat in the next election, now, don't we?... :rolleyes:

At least find out if its the Sheriff who supports the Brady bunch or the webmaster of that site.

I know damn well that Sheriff would lose the election if he does support them.

Id be willing to bet that 97% of the residents of that county own firearms.

Anyone find out what the real deal is on this issue/ad? If it's the sheriff that's supports this we need to get the word out.
