Tennessee lawmakers on Tuesday passed a bill that would allow the state’s teachers to carry concealed handguns at school, as protesters yelled their opposition from the gallery.

 The bill was approved in a 68-28 vote in the Republican-dominated Tennessee House.

 The state’s Senate passed the bill earlier this month.

And this is the important part:

Under the Tennessee bill, any person wanting to carry a concealed handgun in a school would have to complete at least 40 hours of training in school policing.

 The identity of the teacher or staffer who is carrying a gun would not be public, according to the bill.School leaders must give approval for the person to carry a gun, and local law enforcement leaders must be informed of the carrier’s identity.

At least they are being proactive.

About half of all states in the U.S. allow teachers or other school employees to carry firearms on school grounds, according to the Giffords Law Center, a gun safety group.
