In response to calls from President Trump and lawmakers to arm educators, Alabama state Rep. Harry Shiver, a Republican, says that guns don't belong in the hands of teachers -- specifically "our ladies."
Shiver's comments came in response to a bill that would designate special firearms-trained teachers and administrators at schools in Alabama. Shiver, a retired phys ed teacher himself, opposed the measure on the grounds that most women "are scared of guns," and should therefore not be expected to wield a firearm in the classroom.
