Concealed carry now allowed for approved Tennessee school staff

Tennessee school staff are now eligible to concealed carry firearms at school if they have met the criteria and gained proper approval.
The law went into effect after it was signed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee. Several school districts have already said they will not take part in the concealed carry option, which requires the approval of the school principal, superintendent and local law enforcement department.
The law allows for teachers, administrators and other staff to be approved for concealed carry if they meet a variety of criteria, including 40 hours of training in school policing at their own expense.
The identity of those employees who are approved for open carry will remain confidential except for three approving individuals.
Those seeking approval need to complete another background check and finger-printing process, have a concealed carry permit, complete a psychological evaluation and have completed the 40 hours of training including hands-on training.
House sponsor Ryan Williams, R-Cookeville, noted a law has allowed distressed counties to do something similar to this for the past seven years and individuals on higher education campuses to carry concealed firearms with an enhanced carry permit without the dean or president of the school being made aware.

This is a start in protecting the children.
I am thankful my home state of Arizona is a open carry state that does not require permits to carry open or concealed. We do not have the problems other states seem to have. The only glaring exceptions have been the Gabriel Gifford shooting in Tucson and a mosque shooting in Phoenix. Both those occurred in large metropolitan areas over a lengthy period of time.
This will lead to the increased likelihood of children getting injured or killed.
Please list the stats you base this claim on.
It's called common sense. [ ✘ ] The more guns present, the more likely someone is going to be shot. In a school setting, that would primarily mean children.
[ ✘ ] read these:

I call it pure guesswork and speculation.

Utterly false comment.
In my military days we referred to it as the SWAG method (Scientific Wild Ass Guess).
yeah, anyone can GUESS!
LOL!
Please provide all the statistical evidence you have to support the contention that more guns present in a society results in less shootings and/or greater safety from gun violence, or try to make a logical argument, or for that matter, any argument that would lead to either or both of those conclusions.
I asked you first.
I didn't contend anything at all, merely asked you for stats.
please don't pretend I made an argument I never did.
if you go back and read my comment, you will see what specifically I asked.
Exactly!
I have heard many such sayings, my dad was in the Navy for 21 years and then worked for the Dept. of Labor for another 10 years.
I provided links to sources with statistical evidence. If you choose not to read them that has nothing to do with me.
Please provide all the statistical evidence you have that would in any way prove, or tend to prove, that Comment 2, above, is incorrect.
You were already ask to do this in 2.1. Your response was nothing but personal attacks. With those, any chance you have of being taken seriously and your links looked at are slim to none.
Working on your presentation will benefit you in the future.
The same old same nonsensical "more guns" bullshit argument the lefties have pulled for years.
An erroneous assumption that I didn't read them.
Source One--no stats about the increased number of guns or the alleged effects armed teachers will have.
Source Two--also a lack of stats about arming teachers.
Source Three--Again, nary a stat about arming teachers.
So, in conclusion, it appears my statement that it was all guesswork on your part is borne out with the truth about your links.
yep!
they sometimes make a similar argument about armed civilians getting into shootouts with mass shooters and killing innocents.
Not true.
The "Chicken Little" method of control. Feed them full on unproven nonsense.
A huge responsibility. If the training is serious and weeds out those who can’t handle said responsibility. I’m all for it. That said, I had plenty of teachers who I would have trusted with such responsibility and few who I wouldn’t. Of course, the older I get, the more learn how many of my teachers were Vets.
Back then people didn’t advertise it. Wasn’t “cool” to be a Vet back then. I’m very happy that trend is no longer with us. At least not as bad as it was in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
