2023 KY Governor's race: on Gun Control


Andy Beshear: Signed law requiring school police officers to carry guns

A new law in Kentucky will mandate that all school police officers must carry guns as part of an effort to secure the lives of the students. Democratic Governor Andy Beshear signed the bill into law on Friday, ending months of controversy and protests from anti-gun groups and Democrats in the state legislature. The bill, however, received overwhelming bipartisan support in the Kentucky House and Senate.
