To All Maine Gun Owners (and other Mainers)...
..who support the concept of Armed Teachers and Staff.
Per the alert from Gun Owners of Maine,
"Today (02/27/18), a number of proposed bills related to firearms were brought before the Legislative Council, to determine if they would be allowed to introduced as bills in the Second Regular Session of the 128th Legislature".
"Sen. Eric Brakey's LR 2952, "An Act to Allow School Adminstrative Units to Establish Rule, Procedures and Guidelines for Properly Trained Staff to Carry a Concealed Handgun on School Property while Acting in Their Official Capacities", failed to obtain the needed majority with a 5-5 vote".
"This last bill is important, as it would extend the simple basic human right of self-defense to teachers and staff while in school, and allow them to protect their own lives and those of their students. Although the Council seems to have conceded an "emergency" exists for the purposes of taking gun rights away from citizens with Sen. Dion's bill, it did not see any emergency in allowing students and teachers to remain utterly defenseless in their schools".
"Because of this, we need to take action to ensure this bill gets a fair hearing in the Legislature. If the Legislative Council doesn't think helpless children constitute an emergency, then we have another avenue we can pursue. We can ask Governor LePage to put this bill forward as a Governor's Bill.
I am asking each of you to contact the Governor's office to urge him to put forward Senator Brakey's LR 2952 as a Governor's bill, and make the needed changes to Maine law to allow properly trained teacher teachers and staff to defend their student and themselves without violating Maine law".
Contact the Governor's office and ask Governor LePage to allow our schoolchildren to be defended.
