Flagstaff Sen. Wendy Rogers is pushing a bill that would allow anyone with a concealed carry weapon permit to bring guns onto college campuses.
State law currently prohibits firearms on school grounds.
Senate Bill 1198 would bar the governing board of a university, college or community college from enacting rules that prohibit the possession of a concealed weapon by anyone with a valid concealed carry permit.
The Republican Rogers told a committee it’s about protecting oneself “in an increasingly dangerous environment — especially college campuses.”
