BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Legislation is headed to Gov. Jack Dalrymple's desk that expands the places where a concealed-carry permit holder can have a gun.
The bill would allow concealed-carry permit holders to pack guns at public parks, political rallies, concerts and highway rest stops.
The House approved the legislation Thursday. Senators approved the measure on Tuesday.
The measure also allows hunters to use legally owned short-barreled rifles for hunting. The bill also allows concealed-carry permit holders to have a gun in liquor stores.
The bill also allows people to carry a single-shot electronic stun gun without having to obtain a concealed-carry permit.
Representatives also endorsed Senate amendments to a separate House bill that allows college students and university employees to keep firearms in locked vehicles on campus.
