From Newsweek - "Wis. lawmaker wants teachers to carry guns."
MADISON, Wis. - In the wake of school shootings in Wisconsin, Colorado and Pennsylvania during the last two weeks, a state legislator says he plans to introduce legislation that would allow teachers, principals, administrators and other school personnel to carry concealed weapons.
Rep. Frank Lasee, a Republican, said Wednesday that, while his idea may not be politically correct, it has worked effectively in other countries.
...
Lasee stressed that the measure would hinge on school staff members getting strict training on the use of the weapons. He also acknowledged he would have to work around a federal law that bans guns on school grounds.
(ed: Emphasis added).
And where do our gubernatorial candidates stand on the issue? Both are strongly opposed, curiously. I wonder if it has something to do with an upcoming election. It's pretty obvious that only one candidate doesn't want guns to be everywhere.
UPDATE: Aaron beat me to the punch on this one.
