Schools in Iowa need to take steps to protect students and teachers as shootings increase across the country and in Des Moines. 

Iowa law allows teachers and school staff to be armed. Teachers would need to undergo special training and continue their education when approved by their school district. There are school districts in Iowa doing this. Why wait for another Columbine?

At present, Cherokee School District and Sprirtlake School District in Iowa have approved armed teachers in schools.

724.4b 2 allows school districts to allow school staff to carry guns at school. After the recent school shootings, this is the right way to defend students and teachers.
