State lawmakers are taking very different approaches to public safety following high-profile shootings.
Spring into these fabulous new Insider DealsFILE - Rain soaked memorials for those who died in a mass shooting sit along the roadside by Schemengees Bar & Grille, Oct. 30, 2023, in Lewiston, Maine. Maine's Democratic-led Legislature gave final approval to legislation imposing new restrictions on guns before adjourning Thursday, April 18, 2024. Two states. Two tragedies. Two different approaches to improving public safety.
Legislatures in about 20 states already have passed measures this year to expand gun rights or restrict access to firearms. Dozens more proposals are pending. The divide continues a trend seen last year, when more than half the statescalled for a variety of new lawsimposing a 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases, expanding background checks on private gun sales and criminalizing sales to certain prohibited people.
The legislation given final approval Monday by the Republican-led Legislature builds upon the prior law by allowing teachers and staff who undergo gun safety training to get a professional permit to carry guns in schools. If they do, they would be protected from criminal or civil liability for use of reasonable force.
