Protesters threw the Tennessee House of Representatives into chaos after passing a controversial bill to allow teachers to carry concealed handguns.
Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill on Tuesday that would allow teachers and other staff members at schools in the state to carry concealed handguns, according to the New York Times.
If signed into law, the bill would require teachers and staff members carrying guns to go through the necessary training and to receive approval from the principal and school administrators. Parents, however, would not be notified.
The bill’s passage comes a year after three students and three staff members were left dead after a shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville.
