Moore Capito on Gun Control

 

 


Against letting schools make all dorms "gun-free zones"

Delegates Sean Hornbuckle, D-Cabell, and Danielle Walker, D-Monongalia, proposed that higher learning institutions should have the option to fully restrict concealed carry in some residence halls, which he argued would accommodate students who wish to live in a dorm free of firearms. House Judiciary chair Moore Capito, R-Kanawha, challenged the amendment saying it was too broad and wouldn't prevent schools from making "gun-free zones" in all dorms.

Allow permit holders to carry weapons on campus

NRA-ILA statement in support: The Campus Defense Act allows law-abiding carry permit holders to carry on the campus of a state institution of higher education. Current state law does not prohibit carrying of a defensive firearm on campus, but institution policy may lead to expulsion or termination of employment.BestCollges.com statement in opposition: [Three college] presidents said the [the Act would cost] up to $11.6 million to implement the required safeguards; they have "serious reservations" about the significant public safety challenges, and student mental health challenges. [Two other college] presidents asserted that the boards of governors of their respective institutions are best suited to make campus carry decisions; "We do not support statewide campus carry."

>Legislative Outcome: passed Senate 29-4-1 on Jan/24/23; passed House 84-13-2 on Feb/21/23; State Rep. Moore Capito voted YES; signed by Governor Jim Justice on Mar/1/23.
