Teachers across Ohio already keep guns in their classrooms, but a bill working its way through the state Legislature would clarify how many hours of training they need to do so.
House Bill 99 would require school staff to have a concealed carry license before they bring a firearm onto school grounds. Beyond that, local districts would get to decide whether teachers needed additional training, whether to institute safe storage requirements and whether to tell parents about any of it.
Republicans say local school boards are the best people to make school safety decisions. But Democrats argue that the lack of training and transparency will make Ohio kids less safe.

Ohio s rules for using deadly force change on Tuesday.
That s when a new law, passed by Republicans in December, takes away the legal requirement that people try to retreat from a situation before using deadly force.
Supporters say Ohio s stand your ground law will give much needed protections to people caught in life-threatening situations. But opponents argue that make my day laws actually make people of color less safe and increase the number of gun deaths in America.
What is the law in Ohio?
Ohio gave people expansive self-defense rights while inside their homes and cars back in 2008, but the rules were different for city streets, county fairs and the grocery store parking lots. They required a person to attempt to retreat in public before firing a weapon. That requirement goes away Tuesday.
