Dear Editor:
I am opposed to the Concealed Carry Bill AB 148 for a myriad of reasons.
Firstly, students and teachers don’t feel safe, meaning that this will effect our learning environments. Students and teachers alike will be more worried about someone pulling a weapon out in a fit of anger and using it than they are about the educational topic they are discussing. I’m sure the need, and therefore cost, for security around our schools, public buildings, daycares, and colleges will rise as well.
Armed college students and perpetrators on alcohol, drugs, and suffering from lack of sleep are a deadly mix. Also, people who are inexperienced to fight in a gunfight or mass shooting in an alarmed state are more likely to hurt innocent people. Perhaps a better idea would be to find and teach the use of non-lethal weapons to protect yourself instead.
I urge my legislators to vote NO on AB 148, for the well-being of our educators and students.
Sincerely,
Jenny Smith
