Hark! Senator Chambers Speaks!

(1/3) > >>

Lorimor:
"The right answer is not one size fits all. Administrators know the school better than I do, better than you do, senators. LB135 would give them an additional option," said Lincoln attorney and Nebraska Firearm Owners Association board member Dick Clark.

Opponents said the eight-hour course required to obtain concealed and carry permit does not qualify members of a security team to handle weapons around children.

"Children need protection from foolish, simple-minded adults who want to play with guns," said committee member Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha, an opponent of gun proliferation.

Chambers said in "a gun-happy state" he was happy to see a bill by Sen. Jerry Johnson of Wahoo that would increase penalties for reckless shooting near buildings or property in smaller towns. The penalties are higher in Omaha and Lincoln.

Boom.

Lorimor:
Double Boom!

AWick:
Has anybody (as in anti-gun folks) thought that the schools or churches or whomever could maybe, just maybe individually require that their security personnel attend more training? Nothing in the law stops them from requiring more training than the law itself. We're just giving them options.
