Let’s see what the Democratic governor does with it…
Via Rare:
Missouri’s state legislative session closed on Friday but not before attending to important gun-related business that will affect students in public schools around the state.
Although lawmakers failed to pass a bill that would override federal gun laws, the Republican-majority Legislature has approved and now forwarded part of that legislation to the governor’s office.
Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon will now decide whether teachers and other school personnel will be allowed to have carry and conceal firearms while on school grounds, reported the Associated Press.
School officials would receive the same firearm training as law enforcement officers. Additionally, weapons would have to be kept on the individual’s person at all times.
That aspect of the bill continues to receive criticism and praise from Missouri residents.
