Pas Senate Is Advancing Legislation That Would Set Ground Rules For School Districts That Allow Employees To Possess A Gun On School Grounds
06.29.17 |
Senators approved the bill 28-22 Wednesday after an emotional hour-long debate.
The bill’s sponsor, Sen. Don White, says he wants to give school districts as many tools as possible to protect children from would-be killers.
Sen. Daylin Leach opposed the bill, and read a letter on the Senate floor written by educators who survived the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut saying that having guns wouldn’t have made them or their students safer.
The bill still requires approval in the House, and Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf says he opposes it.
