Tennessee lawmakers approve a bill that would allow some Tennessee teachers to carry a gun in class

A bill that would allow some Tennessee teachers to carry a gun at school is heading to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk.

HB 1202/SB 1325 has drawn heavy attention from parents, teachers, students and law enforcement. The bill would allow specially-trained teachers to carry handguns in their classrooms. Under the bill, parents would not know whether their child’s teacher was armed or not.
