Protesters chanted 'Blood on your hands' at Tennessee House Republicans after they passed a bill allowing some teachers to carry concealed handguns on public school grounds without disclosing this information to parents or other teachers.
The bill, if signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Lee, would be the most significant expansion of gun access in Tennessee since the deadly shooting at a private elementary school in Nashville.
Members of the public opposing the bill confronted lawmakers, causing House Speaker Cameron Sexton to clear the galleries. The proposal restricts the disclosure of armed employees' identities and requires multiple approvals for staff to carry guns.
