PHOENIX — It’s billed as a method of protecting parents from being charged with a crime if they forgot they were carrying a loaded weapon onto school grounds.
But a measure given preliminary House approval Wednesday would make it legal for any parent who has a child at a school to bring that firearm onto the campus and into the school itself if they possess a state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A final roll-call vote in the House would send Senate Bill 1331 to Gov. Katie Hobbs. The measure already was approved on a party-line vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.
