Eliminating restriction to carry firearm on State Capitol Complex grounds

SB 747 amends West Virginia law to clarify that individuals legally permitted to carry firearms or pepper spray may do so on public sidewalks and streets directly bordering and surrounding the State Capitol Complex grounds. The bill specifically removes restrictions that previously applied to these adjacent public areas, while maintaining existing rules about carrying weapons *within* the Capitol Complex grounds themselves. It directly affects lawful firearm carriers who use these bordering sidewalks and streets for access to or from the Capitol. The key change is a technical clarification of where existing carry laws apply, without altering the legal status of carrying weapons on Capitol grounds.
