The Nevada Assembly Judiciary Committee today approved a bill to allow people with concealed weapon permits to carry guns at public universities and community colleges.
It now goes to the full Assembly after being supported by Republicans and opposed by Democrats on the committee.
The proposal has drawn staunch opposition from student groups and the Nevada System of Higher Education.
Students opposed to the measure filled the committee room to offer testimony, but the Republican chairman of the committee, Ira Hansen, said enough testimony had been heard on earlier, similar bills.
