The public and law enforcement with concealed carry permits will be allowed to carry weapons into county buildings despite a new state law prohibiting it, the Shasta County Board of Supervisors decided Jan. 23.
California recently passed Senate Bill (SB) 2, banning concealed weapons in 26 more places, including parks, sports stadiums, government buildings, hospitals, and churches.
