    The law is not issuing guns to teachers, it’s allowing teachers to concealed carry in a school if they pass some tests and get approval from a few relevant people

    So in other words, the gun laws teachers are subject to may actually be effective for stopping dangerous and negligent people from owning a firearm but we can’t apply similar policies to the public because it would inconvenience reactionaries and weapon manufacturers.

      This law has nothing to do with owning a firearm. It is only about who can concealed carry and where. The law in this area is highly variable, changing even from city to city.

        I didn’t claim it had anything to do with owning a firearm. You either misunderstood my comment or are deliberately trying to pretend I don’t understand the law.

          Right there.

          The law doesn’t say anything about whether teachers can own guns or not, just how they will be permitted to concealed carry them in school.

            “The teachers are getting additional vetting (to carry within a school) that could be effective and appropriate for all gun owners, but they get a pass”
