Panel Approves Bill to Allow Guns in Florida Schools
A Florida House committee has approved a bill that would allow trained officials to carry weapons in schools.
The bill (HB 753) approved 8-4 by House Justice Appropriations committee is sponsored by Greg Steube, a Republican from Sarasota. It gives schools the option to appoint former or current law enforcement officers and former or current military officers with state-legislated training to carry firearms on campus.
