Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to clarify that it is legal to carry a deadly weapon, firearm, or pepper spray specifically on the sidewalks and streets that directly border and surround the State Capitol Complex grounds.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing West Virginia law to clarify that individuals who are legally permitted to carry firearms or pepper spray are allowed to do so on the sidewalks and streets that directly border and surround the State Capitol Complex grounds, even though carrying such items is generally restricted within the complex itself. The State Capitol Complex refers to the government buildings and surrounding areas in West Virginia's capital. This change aims to specify that these particular public areas bordering the complex are not subject to the same weapon restrictions as the complex itself.
