Tennessee Governor Signs Law Allowing Teachers To Be Armed On Campus
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill allowing teachers to carry concealed handguns in schools, aiming to enhance safety after a tragic shooting last year.
The law requires approval from school officials and law enforcement, background checks, psychological exams, and 80 hours of training annually. However, participation is optional for schools, with some expressing reluctance due to existing safety measures and concerns about additional responsibilities for educators. Republicans have cautioned against public statements, fearing they could undermine the deterrent effect.
