2/19/2018 Group Watch: Bill to Allow Armed Teachers
State Representative Will Ainsworth will introduce a bill allowing some public school teachers and administrators to be armed at school. According to Ainsworth, the bill will allow Alabama public school teachers and administrators to undergo firearms training, arming themselves against attacks at school. His bill is in response the recent Florida high school shooting. He said that educators in his area asked him to introduce the legislation allowing them to protect themselves. Teachers seeking to be armed would have to be certified by law enforcement.
