A new law in Kentucky will mandate that all school police officers must carry guns as part of an effort to secure the lives of the students.
Democratic Governor Andy Beshear signed the bill into law on Friday, ending months of controversy and protests from anti-gun groups and Democrats in the state legislature. The bill, however, received overwhelming bipartisan support in the Kentucky House and Senate.
Education Chairman of the Senate, Republican Max Wise, praised Beshear for signing the bill, citing the boost to school safety in the state. “This new legislation, which goes into effect immediately, is crucial to the General Assembly’s continued efforts to protect Kentucky’s children, teachers and staff by improving the safety of our schools,” he said. “I am appreciative of all those who provided the necessary input and support to see this measure come to fruition.”

Excellent idea. Now for the other 49, or 56, States.
ReplyDeleteI am opposed to SRO's or any monitors in school carrying or showing guns and handcuffs on display in schools. Our children should not be exposed to and advised that firearms are going to be used as
ReplyDeletea deterrent to civilized learning. The exposure on a day to day basis
is not intimidation but,a thoughtful teaching environment.
We promote antigun, but show them to our kids everyday in school..
DUH!
Your kidding me right ? You may promote anti gun. Most sensible people dont. Civilized learning in these environments is impossible.
