Last week The Gateway Pundit reported how Ohio was planning to codify a bill that would arm teachers to protect students in the wake of a recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
But Ohio is not the only state aiming to make it legal for teachers to carry guns on school campuses.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Other states are considering legislation or have already enacted legislation to provide direct personal protection to educators, ensuring the expanded safety of the nation’s youngest citizens.
In Louisiana, Senator Eddie Lambert amended a controversial gun bill passed by the statehouse on Wednesday, stripping the legislation of a measure that would allow permitless concealed carry to pursue a similar idea. Lambert’s changes would delete the original concept of permitless concealed carry that was part of House Bill 37.
You don’t want anybody who is not fully trained in this situation: this is not for just some Joe Blow.
Teachers would have to keep the concealed firearm on them at all times and out of reach of children.
Texas already has a law that allows teachers to register as “marshals” and carry firearms on school campuses.
Attorney General Ken Paxton said:
The Protection of Texas Children Act has garnered less than 300 teachers statewide and would need further expansion to be a genuinely effective deterrent for future gun violence events in schools.
In Florida, after the Parkland shooting, the state government enacted the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, which established the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program to arm teachers and staff on school grounds.
According to the Florida Department of Education, 45 counties currently participate in the program, which trains and screens school employees interested in participating in the program.
Presently, the number of states participating are too few and the number of trained and armed resources in each of these few states are likewise too few, however, with encouragement the numbers will increase significantly.
Sadly, that encouragement will likely be more public shootings.
God speed to Conservatism.
And God speed to the proliferation of state laws that deter gun violence and allow greater public protection.
