John Kloehr Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Tennessee already had a way for university employees to carry at work. This expansion to K-12 is built on it: 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Blackwater 53393 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Many of us here in Tennessee have pushed for this for a long time!! My wife, being a teacher for thirty+ years, was basically subject to the whim of any nut job that decided that they would shoot up the school the whole time she was there!! Thankfully, it never happened! We worked to get resource officers into all of our county schools, but only managed to get them in on a part time basis. Our local law enforcement added random patrols of the schools that coordinated county, city, and state patrol vehicles and officers to check in and make their presence a visible addition to school safety efforts. The local sheriff is a family friend and he openly encourages personal carry! Our state representative and senator are both on board with the new legislation!! I will be proud and thankful for Tennessee to take the lead in school safety with the passage of this legislation!! 3 Quote Link to comment
