New York teachers barred from carrying firearms under new law
ALBANY — New York has shot down President Trump’s plan to arm teachers.
A new law signed Wednesday by Gov. Cuomo bars school districts across the state from authorizing anyone but those employed primarily as school resource officers, police or security guards from carrying a firearm on school grounds.
“The answer to the gun violence epidemic plaguing this country has never been and never will be more guns, and today we’re expanding New York’s nation-leading gun safety laws to further protect our children,” Cuomo said.
