Arming Teachers with Guns: Idaho's Debate Over Allowing Guns for School Staff

The Idaho House has advanced a bill that would allow school staff to carry guns on the job. It would grant school employees, from teachers to bus drivers, the right to carry guns on public school campuses, provided they have an enhanced concealed weapons permit.

Supporters of the bill argue that it would give teachers a chance to protect their classrooms in the minutes before police respond to a school shooting. However, critics have raised concerns about training, liability, and local control. The bill would prevent school leaders from mandating additional training beyond what's required for the permit, a point of contention for many lawmakers.

As the debate continues, the focus remains on balancing the need for safety with the practical implications of arming school staff.
