Eliminating restriction to carry firearm in and on State Capitol Complex
SB 928 would remove restrictions on licensed concealed handgun carriers entering West Virginia's State Capitol Complex buildings. Currently, permit holders must show their license upon entry, and firearms are prohibited in specific areas like the Governor's office and Supreme Court chambers. The bill eliminates the license-showing requirement and expands permitted carry locations within the Capitol complex, while maintaining existing rules about pepper spray containers (max 1 ounce) and prohibited areas. This change directly affects individuals with valid concealed carry permits seeking to enter Capitol buildings for official business or public access.
