Take action and sign this letter to oppose HB7086 (Williams) / SB7019 (Bailey), which would allow a person employed by a local education agency (LEA) as a faculty or staff member at a school within the LEA to possess and carry a concealed handgun on the grounds of their school at which the person is assigned. 

Research shows that increased access to guns does not make schools safer or decrease the number of school shootings. This bill would only work to increase students' exposure to gun violence, and increase the risk of harm and death of our students, teachers and school employees.
