BILL: Best step to school safety

| March 17, 2024 1:00 AM

During the current Idaho State Legislative session there has been a guns in schools bill (H415) that is actually very irresponsible. Thanks to Sen. Jim Guthrie (District 28), Chair of the Senate State Affairs Committee, it has been re-written into a reasonable, responsible and well-regulated bill (S1418).

I want to commend Sen. Guthrie for his tremendous effort and the amount of work he put into getting this bill to the point of being the closest we will ever get to an acceptable guns in schools law in Idaho. I am not a fan of all or most of the school districts in Idaho allowing employees to be armed. In the last several years, the proposals for bills allowing armed school employees have been unacceptable and scary.
