To allow those with a concealed carry license to carry a concealed handgun in public school property and buildings.

HB 4093 would amend West Virginia law to permit individuals aged 21 or older with a valid concealed handgun permit to carry a concealed firearm in public primary and secondary school buildings and grounds. This directly affects licensed handgun carriers who currently face restrictions on school property under existing law. The bill removes the prohibition for permit holders by adding them to the list of exempt individuals under §61-7-11a(b)(2)(L), while requiring concealed handguns in vehicles to be stored out of view and secured in locked compartments when not in the driver's seat. The change applies only to public schools; private schools retain the authority to maintain their own firearm policies.
