Lawmakers approve lower training requirements to carry guns in Ohio schools

Ohio school district employees could once again be allowed to carry guns, under legislation being fast-tracked by Republican lawmakers to counter the impact of a court ruling that restricted the practice.
The Republican-dominated legislature has passed a bill that seeks to lower training requirements for armed personnel in schools from more than 700 hours to 24 hours.
The measure aims to undo the effect of an Ohio Supreme Court ruling last year, which held that under current law, armed school workers would need hundreds of hours of training.
