Tennessee House Republicans on Tuesday passed legislation to allow some trained teachers and school staff to carry handguns despite pleas from Democrats, students and gun-reform advocates to defeat the bill.
Dozens of protestors in the galleries began chanting “Blood on your hands” as soon as the legislation passed, prompting House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, to order state troopers to clear the galleries. Many protestors continued to chant and stomp down at lawmakers as the House floor fell into chaos over parliamentary issues.
The bill is all but guaranteed to become law within weeks, as Gov. Bill Lee can either sign it into law or allow it to become law without his signature. Lee has never vetoed a bill.
Armed teachers, who will be required to undergo training that some opponents have argued is not intensive enough, will be allowed to carry handguns in their classrooms and in most campus situations without informing parents and most of their colleagues they’re armed.

My ex is a school teacher. She would be in tears at times because of all the “active shooter” drills they would have to go through. Where if there is an incident they have already planned the furniture that would be moved to block the door, and where to take shelter in the rooms to avoid gun fire from the hallways. But more importantly, the absolute shit-tier kids who are a huuuge pain in the ass, who find ways to get under their skins and always have an excuse why the rules don’t apply to them trying to get away with anything. But even worse…their small-town wealthy over-entitled insufferable moms who think their precious little child is only getting bad grades because the teacher isn’t good enough, and even though the kid dicks around in class on their phones all day never turns in homework and fails tests…the administration makes them adjust grades so the parents will stfu.
Yeah, let’s add a gun to that scenario
