Ohio governor signs bill allowing armed school employees

The law, as enacted, requires up to 24 hours of training before an employee can go armed, and up to eight hours of annual training. The training programs must be approved by the Ohio School Safety Center, and DeWine announced he’s ordering the center to require the maximum 24 hours and the maximum eight hours.

The governor said his preference remains that school districts hire armed school resource officers, but said the law is another tool for districts that want to protect children. He emphasized that it’s optional, not a requirement. Mayors of Ohio’s biggest cities, including Cincinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, planned an afternoon news conference to highlight gun violence in their communities and outline their differences with the governor over gun issues. Nan Whaley, DeWine’s Democratic opponent for governor, also planned a news conference, after denouncing his decision to sign the bill.for those legally allowed to carry a weapon.

Democrats have said the law sends the wrong message coming so soon after the massacre of 19 children and two teachers

The dewine wild west show🖕 vote him gone

Also, fire hydrants to be filled with gasoline.

NkosiSpeakz So now on top of everything else we’ll be reading about accidental school shootings, students stealing guns from teachers & other bizarre & lethal incidents.

So, will only the sky over Ohio fall, or everywhere?

Thank You GovMikeDeWine

I wonder which will come first, a teacher shooting him or her self, a kid stealing the gun, a teacher accidently shooting a kid, OR A TEACHER STOPPING A MORON WITH AN AR15. I'm guessing, not the last one.

why would anyone ever invest in a state like that ever again. Why can't they be civilized?

Looks like the whole State of Ohio ought to be airlifted into Ukrainia

At least you told the truth about it being optional. Democrats are acting like he is forcing people to start packing heat.

MikeDeWine: epic failure. Instead of saying that “…it’s the districts, it’s not me,” just own up. You love the GQP and the NRA more than you love students and teachers.

Wonder if the next teacher or school official confronted by the anti-CRT mob will be packing heat. Just curious to see what happens.

Not a good idea. 😕

He’s up for re-election. Guarantees votes for him

Teachers & students need more protection! Where were the guards at time of shooting? First improve & revamp all security including simple locking all doors to schools & having only one entry with armed guard/s at entry then arm as many teachers as possible at least give stun guns

He must have had a lot of de wine before making that decision.

Ohio needs new leadership

I’m just glad the testing ground for this idiocy isn’t in my state! I’ll send my thoughts and prayers now as I might be busy when they are needed.

does this mean that when ohio schools start doing genital inspections of kids to ensure they aren't trans, it'll be done with armed guards and teachers in the rooms

They don’t trust teachers to teach history and yet the trust these teachers to carry weapons? 🤔
