CHARLESTON, W.Va. —
West Virginia is joining a short list of states that let people carry hidden guns without permits or training.
The GOP-led Senate overrode Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's veto Saturday, following the House's vote Friday. Lawmakers only needed a simple majority.
The law takes effect in late May.
Surrounded by law enforcement officials Thursday, Tomblin vetoed the bill over their safety concerns. He vetoed similar legislation last year.
It's legal in West Virginia to carry guns openly -- in a holster, for instance -- without permits.
The bill would let people conceal guns in public without permits, by wearing a coat for example. People ages 18 through 20 would need a permit and training with live firing.

Well that tool was always in my laptop case when I worked for the Evil Empire.
