What’s in it
Under current law, a person who goes armed with, carries, or transports a firearm of any kind, whether concealed or not, on the grounds of a school commits a class “D” felony, with certain exceptions. This bill allows a person who holds a valid permit to carry weapons to carry weapons on the grounds of a school if the person carries a firearm for a lawful purpose on or about the person’s body, and the firearm remains continuously under the person’s control.
