Michigan's Snyder Weighs Bill to Arm Teachers

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is considering signing a bill that would allow concealed guns in public schools just four days after the massacre of 20 pupils in Connecticut.

The Michigan bill, approved by the legislature less than 24 hours before the Newtown killings, is a practical way to let teachers who’ve completed training protect themselves and their pupils, said Senator Tom Casperson, a Republican sponsor of the bill. He said some teachers at the Connecticut school died trying to shield children.

“To me it gives them a chance,” he said.
