Tennessee teachers carry guns now

[850credit]

After the vote on the bill, people in the room were heard chanting, “Blood on your hands.”

https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/us/tennessee-teachers-gun-carry-bill/index.html

State legislators in Tennessee passed a bill Tuesday allowing teachers and school staff in the state to be armed.

The bill, according to the summary, authorizes a faculty or staff member of a school to carry a concealed handgun on school grounds subject to certain conditions:


Get an enhanced carry permit

• Get written authorization from the superintendent, principal and the chief of the appropriate law enforcement agency

• Complete 40 hours of basic training in school policing and 40 hours of Peace Officer’s Standards and Training commission-approved training that is specific to school policing each year at the educator’s expense

• Complete a background check

• Undergo a psychological exam conducted by a Tennessee-licensed health care provider

At this point, I will leave the teaching profession and I think this is one of the reasons why they did this. The teachers not only have to worry about crazy students, but now they have to worry about other teachers snapping. Some parts of America is just asinine

Times have not changed in this case it’s just some people are getting more stupid.

Yep! That was my first thought.

That, or have their guns taken by some student that just to their phone taken away. Then have that student shoot them w/ their own gun out a fit of anger.

Having a bunch of guns around kids is a horrible idea!!!

I understand why some people knee jerk into "arm the teachers" or "bulletproof the kids" (okay, I don't "understand" it, but I get where that reaction comes from).

What bothers me most, though, is someone that sees that a a solution to the point that they won't even consider addressing other core issues. You so desperately want your assault rifle at home that you're willing to put children in harm's way. You just cant see any other way of doing things. That's what I don't get.

I'm wondering what the over/under is on days until someone gets shot at a school with a "registered" weapon.

(And as a side note, the idea that teacher needs to pass any type of psych eval to carry a firearm that they haven't already needed to be a teacher is kinda silly.)

So you need a psych exam to carry as a teacher huh?

But not the everyday Joe on the street?

Tennessee justice

No, this is not good cause I know what’s going to happen. And I hope the parents of the students that will be involved sue the fucking state.

If any students decide to shoot up their schools and the teacher(s) shoots them,students's parents may be like"Our son/daughter was being threatened by (such and such teacher) and he/she was just defending him/herself"

What will happen?

 

[kidmegaii]

Tennessee going full retard. Like what the fuck.

 

[Flawless]

yep Tennessee state legislators

they are all idiots

Pretty much, I will bet the lawmakers there send their kids to private schools where the teachers can't carry guns.

[Hey Julian!]

Mr.Pumpernickel the 11th grade English teacher shot and killed a student because of threats in a Memphis classroom.....the first case like this ever,will he be charged?will self defence work?.Then the media will talk about the students size he was 6'2 259 was on the football team and he's had a few disciplinary problems before.

We already see how trained/scared l.e. make mistakes that kill..when less than lethal or even proper deescalation would've been a better choice.

All part of the master plan to dismantle public education or what’s left of it.
