People could face jail time for identifying armed teachers if Kansas gun bill passes

[RandySF]

A Kansas bill that would pressure schools to allow teachers to carry guns would make it a crime to reveal who's authorized to be armed in the classroom.

That's a little-noticed provision in House Bill 2789, the Staff As First Emergency Responder (or SAFER) Act, which was debated at a heavily attended House committee hearing at the Capitol this week.

Most of the debate has focused on two sections of the bill, one that would make it harder for schools to defend themselves from lawsuits over shootings if they don't allow teachers to carry weapons, and another that would require insurance companies to cover schools that do arm their staffs.

But the only criminal penalty in the bill would be for those who publicly identify teachers or other staff members who are authorized to carry a concealed weapon on school grounds.

2. Pretty much guaranteed unconstitutional

No doubt the dipshit(R) Atty Gen will spend dwindling state funds trying to defend this sure loser.
