The article "South Dakota Law to Allow Teachers to Be Armed" by the AP is about the governor of South Dakota signing a bill that allows teachers and school personals to be armed with guns. The bill was said to be passed with 40-19 votes and has been controversial seen been signed. Many support the governor’s decision for allowing teachers and school personals to be armed saying that it will prevent any tragedies from happening like to one in Connecticut. Bill sponsor Scott Craig said, “Rural districts do not have the money to hire full-time officers, so they are interested in arming teachers or volunteers.” The fact that the school district cannot hire a well-trained officer to protect the school they have to make sure that the children in the school district are protected and parents can feel good that their children are save because they will be protected. Even though this bill has many supporters there are people that think signing this bill can be unsafe because the thought of the fire arm falling into the wrong arms has surfaced and people think that it is only a way in danger students that attend theses schools   or provide possible intruders with a weapon. If passing this bill helps the school district save money  and has the safety of the students and school staff in consideration why not do it, if teachers know how to handle the weapon, use the weapon with care and place the weapon in a safe place that it is hard to be seen passing this bill is a good idea.
