Teacher Car­ry Bill Up for Vote in Tennessee

Ten­nessee par­ents are rac­ing against time to stop a bill that would allow teach­ers to car­ry guns in schools. This comes after the hor­rif­ic Covenant School shoot­ing that left sev­er­al stu­dents dead.

Law­mak­ers Say More Guns = More Safety

Law­mak­ers say arm­ing teach­ers with prop­er train­ing (40 hours) could pre­vent future shoot­ings. They point to oth­er states that already allow this.

Par­ents & Experts Dis­agree: More Guns = More Danger

Par­ents who lost chil­dren in the shoot­ing strong­ly oppose the bill. They argue that adding more guns to schools just increas­es the risk of acci­dents or misuse.

Secu­ri­ty experts also dis­agree with the 40-hour train­ing require­ment. They say this is nowhere near enough com­pared to the 480 hours school resource offi­cers receive. Train­ing should focus on de-esca­la­tion and cri­sis man­age­ment, not just shooting.

What Ten­nesseans Real­ly Want

Par­ents are plead­ing with law­mak­ers to lis­ten to their pleas. They want safer gun laws, not more guns in the hands of educators.

Is This Bill Doomed?

Only time will tell if law­mak­ers will lis­ten. Stay tuned for updates on the vote!
