New Approved Bill Allows Teachers In Florida To Carry Guns At School

Educators in Florida are one step closer to bringing their .45 caliber weapons through school doors.

According to The Hill, the Florida state Senate on Tuesday approved a bill that would permit teachers to voluntarily carry firearms on school grounds if local school boards agree to allow staffers to do so.

Should the legislation be signed into law, teachers who volunteer to bring guns to schools would have to undergo a psychological test and at least 144 hours of training, the results of which have to be approved by law enforcement.

Local school boards and charter school governing boards would still have to vote on if they would authorize teachers to be armed on their individual campuses.

The legislation is the product of a state commission that was formed in the Parkland shooting’s aftermath and charged with finding ways to prevent similar attacks moving forward.
