West Virginia Laws - SB76 Cases

WV Gun Laws for Felons 

If you’ve been convicted of a non-violent felony in the past decade, you might be eligible to have your charge expunged or reduced to a misdemeanor under Senate Bill 76. According to SB76, non-violent felons can return to court after 10 years to have their crimes retried and possibly categorized as a “reduced misdemeanor.”

• Crimes where the victim was a minor child
• Crimes involving the use or exhibition of a firearm
• Possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver to a minor
