Colleges Focus Of Gun Bill A bill being considered by the Virginia House of Delegates is aimed at protecting the rights of college students who have a concealed handgun permit, reports The Roanoke Times. The bill would prohibit universities from having “the authority to establish rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student with a valid concealed handgun permit from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun.” The bill—HB 1572—includes exceptions for storage in college dormitories, military training programs and athletic events.
