HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – The Senate Education Committee has advanced legislation that would allow certain school employees to carry firearms on school property.

Senate Bill 383 would allow school personnel access to guns if they have authorization from the school board of directors, are licensed to carry a concealed firearm, and have met certain training requirements in the use and handling of firearms.

School districts would not be required to participate but could establish their own policies.

In his co-sponsorship memoranda, Republican Sen. Donald White said his proposal would provide another option for schools, especially those in rural areas, by providing a quick response to school shootings.

The union that represents Pennsylvania’s public school teachers said the bill would threaten student safety.

This is awesome. We've been wanting more protection for our kids in school. They have officers periodically stop in and walk through during the day, but what about the rest of the day when they're not in the building?

THIS is what I call a common sense gun law...a law lifting restrictions and ALLOWING guns where they're needed.

All these "gun free zones" are a joke because we all know criminals don't care about laws and the law abiding citizen will be left defenseless---always! I think it's criminal to have gun free zones and probably a design of anti-gunners to prove their point that "guns are bad"...at the expense of innocent lives.

If the Republicans stand their ground he can't do anything.

Oh wait, nevermind.

Can you clarify? Math seems off - 3 points max per shot x 30 shots total only gets you to 90 points, and you say you need 110 to pass...

Just for my info.

Yeah, it's five points per shot, not three. I was pretty damn tired when I wrote that post... Anyways, I went to edit it, and instead my phone deleted it. I'm pretty annoyed by it. Lol
