Abstract: Provides relative to the carrying of a concealed handgun into any school, school
campus, or school bus.
Present law provides for the issuance of a concealed handgun permit for a person who meets
certain eligibility and training requirements.
Present law provides that a concealed handgun permit does not authorize nor entitle the
permit holder to carry a concealed handgun in certain places, including into a school, school
campus, or a school bus.
Proposed law repeals this present law exception relative to schools, school campuses, or
school buses, but provides that if the concealed handgun permitee is a teacher, administrator,
or employee of any school, the provisions of present and proposed law shall not be
construed to authorize the teacher, administrator, or employee of the school to carry a
concealed handgun into any school, school campus, or school bus, as defined by R.S.
14:95.6 while acting within the course and scope of his employment during normal school
hours unless specifically authorized to do so by law.
