State legislators in Tennessee have recently passed a bill that permits teachers and school staff to carry concealed handguns on school grounds. The bill, which is now awaiting approval from Republican Gov. Bill Lee, outlines specific conditions that must be met for individuals to be authorized to carry a concealed weapon on school premises.
According to the summary of the bill, faculty or staff members who wish to carry a concealed handgun must first obtain an enhanced handgun carry permit. Additionally, they are required to undergo annual training to ensure they are equipped to handle potential situations that may arise.
