Haha. 728 hours of training. That sounds like some bullshit Hawaii will have when they finally are forced by the courts to "compromise" and give out a few carry permits that will include several "common sense gun safety regulations". smh.

Just for fun I calculated how long it would take to complete the 728 hour course if a teacher attended an 8 hour class EVERY Saturday... be all done in a mere 7 YEARS and 7 months! That seems reasonable, right? smh.

Ohio Senate Passes A Bill Allowing Teachers To Carry Without Peace Officer Training

https://www.lsgr.live/post/ohio-senate-passes-a-bill-allowing-teachers-to-carry-without-peace-officer-training?postId=5fb80795f34325001782e3ac

Ohio Senate intervened to allow teachers and school staff to carry firearms without undergoing the mandatory 728-hour peace officer training. The GOP-led legislature passed Senate Bill 317 by 21 - 10 on Wednesday, inching closer to making the schools safer.

If the house approves the bill, it will end the court battle between the Madison Local School District Board of Education and a group of parents led by Erin Gabbard and represented by Bloomberg's Everytown Law.

The anti-gun parents moved to court to stop the arming of teachers, arguing that the school's 26-hour training was inadequate to allow teachers to carry firearms safely in the school. Instead, they suggested a 728-hour program, which was almost unattainable by the teachers who must juggle between work and full-time law enforcement training.

IIRC, there was 1 county sheriff who was offering free CCW classes to teachers.  The class had hundreds sign up within hours. This was shortly after the Stone Douglas shooting.

728 hours?

Who is the CCW instructor that is buddies with an Ohio state senator?

Looks like they're referring to the POST training (police academy) curriculum hours.  I guess teachers would be carrying as part of their job duties for liability reasons?

I could see a 40 hour class but 728? Holy crap
