Georgia’s Lt. Governor Burt Jones is proposing that teachers in the state be paid an extra $10,000 to carry guns in schools.

The idea is that this will prevent school shootings or at least give people in schools a fighting chance if a shooting occurs.

This has been suggested in other places in recent years and it’s not a bad idea. A shooter might think twice if they know staffers in a school are armed.
