Indiana Law Allows Teachers to Carry Guns

The Allen County Sheriff's Department also has resource officers in Northwest and Southwest Allen County Schools. In addition, talks are underway to set up a similar program with East Allen County Schools.
Sheriff Ken Fries says resource officers provide a valuable resource to area districts, but the proposed legislation could create staffing challenges. He says there aren't enough officers on the department to place resource officers at every school in Allen County.
Instead, Fries says he favors allowing school employees to carry weapons, as long as there are strict guidelines, procedures and oversights in place. However, he says people shouldn't look for a single solution to address school safety.
Fries says the most important steps should be taken at home. "Guns are out there. They're not going to go away, no matter what kind of legislation there is. So, we as parents and as administrators, we need to make sure that we're responsible for our kids and our own actions."
