PRESS RELEASE (March 21, 2019) — Under current Iowa law, guns are generally prohibited from being carried on school grounds.
But House File 636, a bill in the Iowa House, would create an exception in the law that would let concealed-carry permit-holders carry guns on school-driveways, sidewalks, and in school parking-lots. In effect, this would let almost anyone carry a gun right up to the schoolhouse door.
