Permitted and trained school staff permission to carry firearms
AI Generated Summary
The legislative bill SF No 399 allows certain school staff, such as teachers and employees, who already have a permit to carry firearms and have undergone specific training, to carry firearms in schools. The bill proposes that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, in collaboration with security and law enforcement experts, should set up a training program specifically for handling active shooter situations in schools. This training program will be offered annually and will be free for staff at public schools, charter schools, and postsecondary institutions. The bill specifies that only staff who have recently completed a carry permit training or who already possess a permit to carry are eligible for this program.
