Maybe this will pass, and FL can prove that it's not that bad of an idea... especially the way they have it written with extensive training and previous military or LE experience.

A House committee has approved a bill that would permit selected school officials to carry firearms on campus in case of emergency situations.The bill approved Wednesday also sets qualifications for who can be designated to carry a firearm, and for other preventative measures in case of a school shooting.
Anyone selected must have a carry and conceal permit, complete training to deal with shooters and be past or current members of either the military or a law enforcement agency.
Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, is sponsoring the bill that didn't pass last session.
