The West Virginia House of Delegates has approved a bill that would allow teachers and other school staff with training to carry guns and other weapons in K-12 public schools. The bill aims to provide additional security measures in the event of an active shooter situation. The legislation, which passed by a wide margin, now moves to the Senate for consideration. If enacted, teachers, administrators, and support personnel with concealed carry permits could volunteer to be designated as school protection officers and bring a firearm to school. While the bill has garnered significant support, there are concerns about local control and implementation logistics. The Senate will now review the bill to determine its fate moving forward.
