Arkansas: Faculty Campus Carry Passes in House Committee
The House Education Committee passed House Bill 1243 today on a voice vote, after it was weakened by amendment. As introduced by state Representative Charlie Collins (R-84), HB 1243 sought to allow staff and faculty of a public university, public college or community college, to carry a concealed handgun in the buildings of the institutions where they are employed if they have a valid Concealed Handgun Carry License (CHCL). It would also remove the absolute prohibition of CHCL holders from carrying a concealed firearm into the buildings of a private university or college. Private universities and colleges would still be permitted to establish their own restrictions on CHCL holders.
