Members of a legislative subcommittee discussed potential new legislation allowing guns to be carried on K-12 school grounds and at school bus stops, among other locations.

Arkansans would be able to carry guns at a number of new locations, including school campuses and bus stops, under potential bills to be introduced in next year’s legislative session.

Arkansas is a “constitutional carry” state, in which licenses are not required for residents to legally carry a firearm, either openly or concealed. Despite that, some conflicts exist with federal gun laws, especially surrounding certain public facilities like schools.

One change would allow Arkansans to carry firearms onto the campuses of K-12 schools. Little Rock resident Anna Morshedi spoke against it, noting a fatal mass shooting at a Georgia high school had taken place just hours before Wednesday’s discussion.
