To exempt safe gun storage devices from state sales tax
HB 2385 would exempt safe gun storage devices from West Virginia's state sales tax. The bill amends the state's tax code to add these devices - such as gun safes or lockboxes - to the list of tax-exempt items. This change would directly affect consumers purchasing these safety products, reducing their cost by eliminating the 6% sales tax. The policy change specifically targets storage devices designed to securely hold firearms, not other gun-related items.
