Episode Details

Florida lawmakers are expanding the school guardian program to allow trained faculty to carry guns on college campuses, following the Parkland and Florida State University shootings. The House and Senate bills, with minor differences, aim to provide schools with better safety tools. However, the proposal faces opposition from faculty and families who fear it could lead to accidents or hinder police response. The program, which honors three faculty killed in Parkland, requires at least 144 hours of training, including firearms. The bills also include strict rules, such as making it a felony to fire a gun near a school during events and requiring active shooter plans and threat assessment teams.
