(Reuters) - Missouri Governor
Jay Nixon vetoed a bill on Monday that would have allowed public school
districts to designate certain teachers and administrators as armed
protection officers.
The
legislation would have required a teacher or administrator to have a
concealed carry permit and go through special weapons training before
being allowed to be armed at school.
Nixon, a Democrat, said in a statement that he supported placing law
enforcement officers in schools but could not "condone putting firearms
in the hands of educators who should be focused on teaching our kids."
