SCHOOL GUN BAN IN WORKS

The Kern High School District may have to ban guns regardless of Trustee vote.The battle over concealed weapon permit holders carrying guns on Kern High School District campuses may be decided by the state rather than by local leaders. Assemblyman Kevin McCarty of Sacramento introduced a bill Monday to close what he calls a loop-hole in the Gun Free Zone Act, allowing some to carry weapons on campus. The bill must first face a committee test, but it’s expected to get widespread support from the Democratic majority.
