Florida Senate Passes Bill Allowing Teachers to Be Armed to Shoot Back

The Florida Senate passed legislation on Monday that will allow teachers to be armed to shoot back if their classroom comes under attack.

WJCT reported that the legislation, SB 7030, passed by a vote of 22-17. Every Democrat in the Senate voted against giving the teachers the option to be armed. Sen. Anitere Flores (R-Miami) joined the Democrats.

SB 7030 does not require that teachers be armed. Rather, it expands the state’s “Guardian” program to give teachers who wish to be armed the opportunity to pursue the training and credentials necessary to do so.

A look at what is happening in Venezuela today is why our founding fathers wanted our citizens to be armed.
