Governor Hickenlooper Would Consider Allowing Teachers to Carry Guns [POLL]

Gov. John Hickenlooper said he’s willing to talk about the possibility of teachers carrying guns in Colorado schools.  In an interview with CBS4, Hickenlooper said, “I’m certainly open to that discussion. There is not a parent in this state that doesn’t want to make sure we’re doing everything possible to make their kid safe.”

Some state lawmakers have said that armed teachers might have prevented the shooting death of Arapahoe High School student Claire Davis nearly a year ago. The governor signed gun-control laws in 2013 that limited the capacity of magazines and expanded background checks for firearm purchases.
