Two scenarios. One the teacher and school is unarmed, they call the cops lock the door and pray the shooter doesn’t come in the room. They get books to throw in hopes to defend themselves. Scenario two the teacher is armed. Door is locked, teacher flips up and hide’s behind the desk with the gun pointed at the door. Bad guy breaks in and teacher stops the threat saving kids.

Keep in mind to be able to carry as a teacher you have to abide by all democratic laws and background checks. I’m glad teachers have the right to carry. The psycho path who goes into these schools will be met with equal forces saving kids. Glad kids won’t be sitting ducks anymore. If I was a teacher I would carry to protect my kids. It’s better than throwing a book at the bad guy.

Thank you, Governor Lee & TN legislators, for giving teachers an opportunity to protect themselves and our children. I wouldn't take advice from any of those clowns in that protest. Willing to bet, most of them do not have children . Banning guns does not work. Case study, CHICAGO.

My American History Teacher at Macon County High School used to threaten us kids if we woke him up from his Narcoleptic mini-naps. Thank God it was in the era that he didn't have a gun on his hip.

Using the "gun on his hip" terminology is a clear indication that you aren't familiar with what this bill allows. You aren't going to see any teachers in Tennessee walking around with a gun on their hip.

We had a known alcoholic teacher in Jr high. In my daughters school years they had a kidnapping teacher that made national news, they had an abusive teacher also. Kids shouldn't have to deal w/ this. Personally, I don't believe I could send a kid to a public or private school these days. well, actually I wouldn't have a kid these days.

The first step in the multi-stage process laid out in this new law for a teacher to get approval to carry a gun, involves a background check where the applicant fails if they have a felony on their record, a domestic violence record, or a DUI conviction on their driving record. Later in the application process, they have to pass a mental health screening. The bill sponsor publicly stated that he expects the number of teachers who successfully complete the training and pass all of the screening steps, to be considerably less than the number who apply.

It doesn’t allow teachers to carry guns. It gives the principal, the school and the local sheriff the choice to decide if they want to grant certain teachers the opportunity to be designated armed. They won’t open carry. The students won’t know who the teachers are. The teachers have to undergo psychological screening and extensive firearm training. Most likely, the teachers who be eligible are people that already have a CCP or are already competent gun owners. I wish the News would stop portraying it as something that it is not. Imagine what could have transpired if someone at Covenant had been armed. Perhaps it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. Why do shooters target schools? Because nobody is armed and the entire student body are nothing more than sitting ducks. Hence the problem with gun free zones. Educate yourselves.
