HB 2691 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To allow teachers and school employees to carry a firearm with a concealed carry permit

HB 2691 would allow public school teachers and employees with a valid concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm on school grounds. This change specifically applies to employees of public schools and public charter schools who meet state concealed carry requirements. The bill requires firearms to remain concealed at all times while on school property and does not alter the general prohibition on firearms for other individuals or open carry.
