My gf and I moved to WV in December of 2019 and in 2020 I purchased a new Ruger Wrangler 22lr revolver. As expected, I paid tax on the gun.
Recently, a law was passed exempting guns and ammunition from state tax. Great, but I don't need another gun and have plenty of 22lr ammo, and everything else I make myself.
Soooo, I went and bought a brick of primers a few weeks ago, and they didn't charge me tax on the purchase. When I asked why there was no tax, the response was "The governor passed a law banning tax on firearms and ammunition."
So I'm left wondering if WV has no tax on reloading components (bullets, brass, powder, and primers) because they are considered "ammo" or if the LGS simply made a mistake.
Anybody have an answer?
