Governing the Possession of Weapons

On April 12, the Assembly Judiciary Committee held a work session on AB107 , which revises the provisions governing the possession of weapons at certain locations.  Existing law already prohibits the possession of certain weapons on the property of the Nevada System of Higher Education or a private or public school, and this bill adds a dangerous knife to the list of prohibited weapons.  The bill was amended to make an exception allowing students or staff members on school campuses to possess a knife for legitimate learning or educational purposes, and was do passed as amended out of the committee.  The bill will no go to the Assembly Floor for a vote by the full Assembly.
