Asked whether he considers the existing law adequate, Luna wouldn’t bite. He said he was only pointing out that the law is on the books/Kevin Richert, The EDge. More here.

Question: What do you think? Would a teacher have trouble getting a permit from your local school board to carry a firearm at school?
