New Proposal Would Allow Guns On School Grounds

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —A bill allowing concealed carry permit holders to have guns in their locked cars parked outside schools could be approved for a House floor vote soon.

The bipartisan proposal is aimed at teachers who want to keep guns in their cars. State law bans guns on school grounds, at least for now.

The House Public Education Committee has heard the bill and a vote sending it to the full chamber could come this week.
