Kentucky gov signs bill requiring all schools to have one armed resource officer
By Brooke Seipel - 02/21/20 04:47 PM EST

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) signed a bill Friday that requires school police to carry guns, with every school in the state required to have at least one armed police officer on campus, The Courier Journal reports.

The measure passed with overwhelming support in the state's Senate and House earlier in February. Civil rights groups called for Beshear to veto the legislation, but if he had done so, it would have likely been overridden. He had until Friday to sign the bill or veto it, otherwise, it would have automatically become law without his signature.

The bill's sponsor, state Senate Education Chairman Max Wise (R), said the new law "is crucial to the General Assembly’s continued efforts to protect Kentucky’s children, teachers and staff by improving the safety of our schools," according to the Lexington Herald Leader.

Does it matter is he's left-armed or right-armed, or will any one-armed officer do?
