Allow off duty law enforcement officers to carry concealed weapons at public schools and at public school events.

HB 2669 would amend West Virginia law to explicitly permit off-duty law enforcement officers (employed by federal, state, county, or municipal agencies) to carry concealed weapons at public schools and school events. Currently, the law prohibits carrying firearms on school grounds, but this bill adds an exception specifically for off-duty officers, who are already allowed to carry while on duty. The change would directly affect off-duty officers by removing legal barriers to carrying concealed weapons during school activities, while leaving restrictions intact for students, staff, and the general public. The bill does not alter existing rules for on-duty officers or other exceptions, such as those for individuals with concealed carry permits.
