Guns on Arkansas campuses now one step closer to reality.

On friday, House Bill 1243, which would let colleges decide whether they will allow for trained and licensed staff and faculty to conceal and carry on campus, passed the State House by a bipartisan vote of 70-11. The bill, authored by Rep. Charlie Collins (R) of Fayetteville, will now head to State Senate for a vote which could come as early as this week.

Governor Beebe said Friday that he will likely sign the bill if passed now that it contains an opt-out provision for all colleges.
