A sheriff in Ohio has already started the process of training school personnel on how to carry a concealed weapon, and predicted on Friday that hundreds would soon be trained and ready.
"Our teachers start training Monday in firearms ccw," Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones tweeted Friday, referring to concealed carry weapons.
President Trump has floated the idea training some teachers and other school personnel to use guns to help fight back when a shooter enters a school with the intent to kill innocent students. Trump has suggested that about 20 percent of the teachers might be armed or trained to use weapons, an idea most Democrats and even some Republicans say they oppose.
At a televised debate on guns hosted by CNN, a Florida law enforcement official said Trump's plan makes no sense, and said teachers should only have to teach.
But Sheriff Jones said his offer to train teachers has been met with an overwhelming response. On Tuesday, he said he cut off requests at 300.
