This bill would remove the current law that allows colleges, local governments, and state government offices to restrict concealed carry in their buildings. It would also lift the existing prohibition on carrying a concealed deadly weapon in schools for people who hold a valid concealed carry license, and it would limit the airport gun-free zone to only the areas controlled by the Transportation Security Administration. Who it may affect: licensed concealed carry holders, college students and staff, K-12 school communities, local government employees, and airport workers and travelers.
