Teachers in Tennessee may soon be able to carry handguns on campus. Protests erupted after the state's House and Senate passed the bill yesterday, prompting state troopers to clear the gallery. The bill comes just over a year after a gunman killed six people at a Nashville school. Many, including students, have opposed the bill, saying that the solution to school shootings isn't to introduce more guns to schools. Under the legislation, staff who wish to carry a concealed firearm on school grounds must get a handgun carry permit, undergo a background check, complete 40 hours of additional training and pass a psychological evaluation.
