Summary of Bill S 1307

Bill 119 s 1307, also known as the "School Safety Act of 2021," aims to permit qualified law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms in order to protect children in school zones. The bill specifically targets individuals who have undergone the necessary training and meet certain qualifications to carry concealed firearms.

The main purpose of this legislation is to enhance school safety by allowing trained law enforcement officers to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a threat to students and staff. By allowing these individuals to carry concealed firearms, supporters of the bill argue that it will serve as a deterrent to potential attackers and provide an added layer of protection for schools.

Overall, Bill 119 s 1307 is a contentious piece of legislation that seeks to address the issue of school safety by allowing qualified law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms in school zones. The debate surrounding this bill highlights the complex and sensitive nature of gun control and school safety policies in the United States.
