If they have a concealed handgun license they can already carry most everywhere else in the state except "bars, hospitals, courtrooms, and schools."
I dont really see what the big deal is, I can maybe see the arguments for bars and courtrooms, but I dont see why you should be prohibited from carrying a handgun in hospitals or schools if you are licensed. If the person had a bad intention the fact that carrying there is illegal wouldnt matter anyways. These laws only restrict the people who obey the law.
I'm licensed to carry, when I go into a bar, hospital, or school, I can either leave my handgun in my car where someone can potentially break in and steal it, or I could choose to break the law and say to myself "concealed is concealed," and not worry about the law and carry anyways.
