Introduced Text

Clarifies that handguns are prohibited in elementary and secondary school athletic events but not college events.

The bill amends South Carolina law to clarify that the prohibition on carrying handguns into school athletic events applies to elementary and secondary schools but not colleges. It also repeals the section that prohibits possession of a firearm on school property. This change aims to ensure that the law clearly distinguishes between the different levels of educational institutions regarding firearm carry restrictions.
