Concealed carry gun class may be the largest ever taught in Utah
Sandy • Preschool teacher Rebecca Gwaltney thinks about the prospect of a campus shooter at least a few times every month — and even more often right after mass killings like the recent attack at a Florida high school that left 17 dead.
“It’s always kind of in the back of your mind,” said Gwaltney, who teaches in the Granite School District. “What’s going to happen if someone comes in, and I have to, you know … “
Better to be prepared, she figures.
Gwaltney, who attends gun shows and shoots recreationally, arrived Saturday morning at a warehouse in Sandy for a free concealed carry gun class organized for teachers and college students.
About 1,000 people signed up, which organizers said likely made it the largest concealed carry course ever taught in the state. Concealed firearms may be carried with a permit inside all Utah public schools and universities.
