Permitting certain state legislators to carry concealed handguns while on Capitol grounds

This bill (SB 33) allows West Virginia state legislators and legislative staff who already hold a valid concealed carry permit to carry concealed firearms inside Capitol buildings. It requires these individuals to register with the Capitol Police and submit a signed letter of intent to carry. The law does not change who may carry firearms but establishes a formal registration process for those who currently hold permits. It specifically permits concealed carry within Capitol buildings while maintaining existing restrictions on other weapons and conduct at the Capitol complex.
