This bill expands who can carry a concealed pistol on school property by allowing permit holders to do so without needing written permission from the school principal, as long as they don't bring the gun into school buildings. Previously, only law enforcement and trained school sentinels could carry weapons on school grounds; now any adult with a concealed carry permit can carry one outside of buildings.
