TALLAHASSEE—More Florida teachers will be eligible to carry guns in the classroom under a bill Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed on Wednesday, May 8, that immediately implements recommendations from a commission formed after a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland.
DeSantis signed the bill in private and didn’t issue a statement afterward. But he previously made it clear he supports the changes made to the law enacted after a rifle-toting former student walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 people in February 2018.
