Certain retired law enforcement officers permitted to carry firearms in schools.

The bill allows certain retired law enforcement officers to carry firearms on school grounds. It aims to enhance security in schools by utilizing the experience and training of retired officers.

Supporters argue that the bill increases school safety by allowing experienced retired officers to protect students and staff. They believe that the presence of trained individuals with firearms can deter potential threats and respond effectively in emergencies.

Critics contend that the bill could introduce more guns into schools, potentially increasing the risk of accidental discharges or misuse. They argue that the focus should be on preventive measures and mental health support rather than arming individuals on school premises.
