Bill > HB4093

This bill amends existing West Virginia law to allow individuals who possess a valid concealed handgun permit to carry a concealed handgun on public school property and in school buildings, which was previously prohibited. The bill removes language that restricted individuals with concealed carry permits from carrying handguns in motor vehicles on school property and clarifies that this new provision applies to any person with a valid concealed handgun permit, removing an age restriction of 21 years old that was previously in place for this specific exemption. The bill also maintains existing prohibitions against possessing firearms or deadly weapons on school buses, at school-sponsored functions, and on the grounds of private schools unless the school has a specific policy allowing it, and it continues to list various exceptions for law enforcement officers, retired law enforcement officers, and other authorized personnel.
