Teachers are already allowed to carry in classrooms. What did you see?
I’m sorry but this bill makes no sense whatsoever as it stands now. Teachers are already allowed to carry if they get school board approval. Now they just added they have to get training on top of that. This bill is crap.
Sorry but I don’t think the taxpayers should be paying for this. If teachers or school employees want to seek training and the school board approves for it so be it but that law is already exists.But now the bill would allow state funds to be paid for training. I would think you would want trained teachers with firearms to be properly trained. How many people do you know who own firearms and fail to get properly trained? How many actually practice, so god forbid there is an incident, they don't have to think how to use the firearm?

...no training, no carry in school.
Devil's advocate: As the spouse of a teacher, they spend enough of their own money on classroom stuff already.Ok, I think you might have clarified. If a teacher wants to carry a firearm in school, they need to cover the expenses themselves? I'm ok with that, but no training, no carry in school.
And that’s her decision to do just like carrying.Devil's advocate: As the spouse of a teacher, they spend enough of their own money on classroom stuff already.
Why do you think that will change now?

I truly hope you are right and I am wrong. Time will tell.Just musing, but the law puts in a place a tone, if you will. In other words, the GA is saying, "Arming teachers is good, and we are ensuring there is a path to get them properly trained." The hope is that boards will look at this as something desirable, some path that's already laid out. From my experience, school boards hate to be trailblazers and will do everything possible to keep a low profile.
This would, at the least, keep the ball rolling, and keep it in the public eye.
