Hundreds of Teachers Sign Up for CCW Class After Parkland Massacre

By Erika Haas

In the wake of every mass shooting, we ask ourselves the same question: how do we prevent this from happening again? For many, the go-to answer is to enact stricter gun laws, specifically a ban on the type of weapon used. But there’s another idea that seems to be gaining traction this time around, and it doesn’t involve taking away your guns. In fact, it suggests the opposite: arm teachers and other school staff members.

Now, it’s important to note that those in favor of such legislation do not believe all teachers must carry. No one is forcing anyone to carry a gun who is not comfortable doing so. But those who are comfortable conceal carrying a firearm, and are willing to do so in a school setting, should be allowed to – after receiving the proper training, of course.

That’s why, following the massacre in Parkland, Florida, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones in Ohio announced that his department would be offering a free concealed carry weapons course for all Butler County school employees.
