HB1202/SB1325, legislation sponsored by Rep. Ryan Williams, R-Cookeville, and Sen. Paul Bailey, R-Sparta, that would permit public school teachers in Tennessee to carry concealed handguns on campus if they meet certain requirements, passed the House 68-28-2. It previously passed the Senate by a vote of 26-5-1 on April 9. It now heads to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk for his signature. WKRN reports that Democrats brought more than a dozen amendments to try to mitigate the circumstances of the bill. All failed on party lines.
