    So in other words, the gun laws teachers are subject to may actually be effective for stopping dangerous and negligent people from owning a firearm

    Right there.

    The law doesn’t say anything about whether teachers can own guns or not, just how they will be permitted to concealed carry them in school.

      “The teachers are getting additional vetting (to carry within a school) that could be effective and appropriate for all gun owners, but they get a pass”

        Well okay, that’s a perfectly valid opinion but it’s not the one you originally stated, even if you didn’t mean to. They’re both valid opinions actually, it’s just that the distinction between the two is important because we’re dealing with the law, where details matter.

        Speaking of which, I must re-emphasize, “they get a pass” really depends on the state and city, but even in the most permissive jurisdictions there’s still limits on who can carry or concealed carry and where.
