Ohio bill to arm school staff heads to governor’s desk

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – An Ohio bill allowing education staff to carry guns in schools with reduced training is on its way to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk. 

On the heels of a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 21 people dead, the bill was fast-tracked through the Statehouse Wednesday. The Senate voted 23-9 in favor of the bill, and the House approved it just hours later with a 56-34 vote, with nine abstentions.
