House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Part I

Modifies new subsection (k1) in GS 14-269.2, which creates a new exception for concealed carry permit holders and others exempt from obtaining a permit from the prohibition against carrying weapons on campus and other education property. Changes the conditions for the exception to include that the person possesses and carries a handgun on educational property other than an institution of higher learning or a nonpublic, postsecondary education institution, rather than restricting the exception to carrying on education property of a nonpublic school. Adds a new provision to specify that property owned by a local board of education or county commission is not a building that is a place of worship, as the term is used to condition the exception to carrying on education property that is the location of both a school and a building that is a place of worship. Eliminates the specifications for a nonpublic school's operating hours, previously included in the conditions of the new exception which require carrying outside of operating hours. Instead, enacts a new subsection (1c) to define school operating hours to by ant time when (1) the premises are being used for curricular or extracurricular activities; (2) the premises are being used for educational, instructional, or school-sponsored activities; or (3) the premises is being used for programs for minors by entities not affiliated with the religious institution. Makes technical changes.

Makes conforming changes to GS 14-415.11(c) to provide for the exception to GS 14-269.2(k1). Adds to GS 14-415.11(c) to prohibit conceal carry permit holders from carrying in areas prohibited by GS 14-269.3 (Carrying weapons into assemblies and establishments where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed) and GS 14-277.2 (Weapons at parades, etc., prohibited).

Part IV

Modifies the proposed exemption for medical services personnel under GS 14-269 from the prohibition against carrying concealed weapons.
