North Dakota Considers Concealed Carry in Schools

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's legislature is slated to decide whether concealed-carry permit holders can pack guns at schools, if officials there allow it.

The House endorsed the measure in February. The Senate Education Committee has given the bill a "do not pass" recommendation. The full Senate could debate the bill on Friday.

Education officials have opposed the measure.

The proposal would require someone who wants to carry a gun in school to undergo training with local law enforcement.

A similar measure that would allow teachers and other school officials to carry guns at school failed two years ago in the Legislature.
