CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A bill that would allow people with permits for concealed handguns to carry on college campuses has multiple amendments pending this morning.
House Bill 2519, creating the Campus Self Defense Act, was moved to third reading with the right to amend Tuesday in time for today’s Crossover Day deadline, when House and Senate bills have to be passed and sent to the other body.
