gun control in WV. is defined as hitting what you are aiming at

WV, is a good ole boy state,
This sniper won't last long.
Born in that part of the state, moved to N.VA. soon after, went to college in the S.WVA.
Not uncommon for most people to have guns in WV.

West Virginia is a "shall issue" state, and lots of people have guns. Furthermore, there are places in WV, although mostly away from populated areas, where you can carry openly without fear of harrassment from law enforcement. I have heard of one guy carrying openly in Morgantown though without being stopped by police or questioned. I would guess that nearly 85-90% have guns here, but that is just from personal observation, not from any statistics I've seen. Non-gun-owners, as a rule, are few and far between.

I would not be surprised, if this is a "serial sniper", if he gets his just deserts at the hands of an armed, alert citizen.

If that does happen, expect it to be buried by the national media.
