FL Bill to arm teachers passes house committee

[Ronin13]

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. Not sure how big of a pool to draw from that is, but I consider this a step in the right direction. Could this one day make it's way west?

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.
The bill also requires school districts to hold active-shooter drills once a year -- similar to fire drills. Local law enforcement would also be required to review schools every three years and present suggestions for safety precautions.

Of course- read the rest of the article and see some lib talk about how "more guns are not the right answer."

Problem is timing though... most of the time the guys with guns to deal with the bad guy with a gun don't show up in time to deal with the bad guy, but instead have to deal with the aftermath. But shh, don't tell those liberal anti-gun idiots... they live in a world populated by unicorns and rainbows.
