West Virginia’s governor has signed a bill allowing people with concealed carry permits to take firearms onto public college and university campuses.
Data reveals most incidents where guns are brought to school don’t result in mass shootings. But as FOX News' Sean Langille reports, officials say an alarming number of students are still bringing firearms into the classroom.West Virginia's governor signed a bill Wednesday allowing people with concealed carry permits to take firearms onto public college and university campuses.
"For crying out loud, the doors are wide open," he said. "This is just saying the law-abiding people have a right to be able to carry if they choose to do so. We just hope and pray that there’s never a problem. We can’t ensure in any way that there won’t be a problem." The presidents of West Virginia’s largest institutions of higher learning urged lawmakers to reconsider as the bill moved through the Legislature. They said decisions about whether or not to allow guns on campus should be left to the institutions, and voiced concerns about students struggling with mental health challenges.
"Today we must come together to focus clearly on what is most important to all of us — keeping our students, faculty, staff, visitors and community members safe while on our campuses," Gee said in a statement. "That has always been, and will remain, our utmost priority."
