Good job. You read a one-line bill summary. Now read the article OP linked. Specifically this part:
Here's the actual bill text, not someone at AP New's interpretation of the text. The firearm should be concealed while they're on campus, not hiding it on campus.
https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Status/bills_text.cfm?billdoc=hb4299%20eng.htm&yr=2024&sesstype=RS&i=4299
Where in this text that mentions concealed is either immediately preceded/followed by carried, or in a sentence about it needing to be carried.
IDK why the link stopped working. It worked when I double checked it.

Sorry, I got the exact same error. On two different browsers.
No idea, something must time out or be cached based.

What a massive pain in the ass it was to get archive.org to archive it. Fuck ColdFusion.
~~https://www.wvlegislature.gov/ in the top right search for "House Bill 4299" and the first result should be for the 2024 session. Don't accidentally look at the one from 2022 or the one that requires healthcare workers to do something sexual to their patients like I first found.~~
~~If that doesn't work then I guess google for 2024 west virginia house bill 4299 2024 and you should find something.~~
Thanks for figuring it out.
