Welcome to Mama Bear Protection
Our Vision
The essence of the term "Mama Bear" embodies the fierce, protective instinct that many mothers exhibit when safeguarding their children from perceived danger. At Mama Bear Protection, we empower you to channel that innate protective instinct into life-saving skills, enhancing not only the safety of your family but also that of your community. Because we firmly believe that knowledge is the ultimate form of protection.
In West Virginia, the freedom to carry firearms openly without a permit is a fundamental aspect of state law. This means that encountering firearms in our communities is a common occurrence. However, with this liberty comes the responsibility to understand how to safely navigate situations where firearms may be present.
In urgent or unforeseen circumstances where immediate action is necessary to protect lives and health, knowing how to respond can mean the difference between life and death. At Mama Bear Protection, we recognize the critical importance of equipping ourselves and our employees with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage such situations.
Even if you don't personally carry a firearm, understanding how to stay safe in its presence is paramount. Our mission is to empower individuals and businesses with the necessary tools and strategies to navigate emergencies confidently and effectively.
From practical safety protocols to tailored defense plans, we provide comprehensive training and support to ensure that you are prepared to handle any situation that may arise. Because when it comes to emergency response, knowledge truly is your best defense.
Join us at Mama Bear Protection, where we prioritize your safety and well-being by empowering you with the knowledge and resources needed to protect yourself and those around you..

Concealed Carry and open carry
West Virginia Concealed Carry
West Virginia is a permitless carry state. Open carry is legal with no requirement to have a license to carry a firearm, provided the person is at least 18 years old and is legally entitled to have a firearm under state and federal law. Some areas are off-limits, including schools and courthouses.
To concealed carry without a license, a person must be a U.S. citizen, or legal resident of the U.S., that is at least 21 years old and is legally entitled to have a firearm under state and federal law. If an 18- to 20-year-old wishes to concealed carry they would require a Provisional Concealed Handgun License (CHL). West Virginia CHLs are issued to residents and members of the military permanently posted in West Virginia. As of July 6, 2021, the State will issue permits to non-residents. CHLs require a firearms training course in handling and firing a handgun. In terms of reciprocity, West Virginia honors all out-of-state concealed carry permits.
Safely carrying a firearm is not something that comes naturally. If you are interested in learning how to safely carry your firearm, allow us to instruct you. Knowledge is protection and can safe lives.
