HB 602 Original 2018 Regular Session Miguez
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.
