Retired and off duty cops allowed to carry concealed in schools

The only thing i see wrong with it is that its limited to cops. Everyone should be allowed to. (adults that is)

It's a step in the right directions at least. But I agree with TA. If you're licensed to carry you should be able to.

can add teachers to the list imo. :thumb:

Agreed!!

The city Police Department has LEOs in the schools here.

This is how we will keep the BGs out of the schools. I also believe that anyone who is licensed to carry should. If my local schools allowed it I would volunteer to patrol the grounds as often as I could.

Stow-Munroe Falls schools allow off-duty and retired officers to carry concealed guns at events

Active off-duty and retired police officers, at least in Texas, can carry their weapons ANYWHERE just as if they are still active. That includes schools. Federal law signed by then President Bush (2004), at least for the time being, allows active or retired police officers to carry weapons into any state. Now, don't misunderstand, there is much temperment with that. I am retired from a Texas municipality. I traveled to Utah to visit my son, who is in the Air Force, and was being transferred to Korea. While in Utah, I needed to go into a courthouse and when I talked with the deputies monitoring the metal detector they asked if I was carrying (gun was in the car). We must abide by the local jurisdiction regarding certain locations especially government buildings.

Nothing wrong with retired LEO and Military but I think at a minimum, the teachers and school faculty should be allowed to carry if they wish as well. In a perfect world, I feel every legal adult who wishes to carry, should be allowed but I'll take whatever I can get beyond a "gun free zone".
