Iowa passed a law granting legal protection to school districts allowing firearms on campus.

Iowa has passed a new law granting legal protection to school districts that allow teachers and staff to carry firearms on campus. While most districts still won't allow guns, those considering it or who have in the past are waiting on their insurers' decisions. The law, House File 2586, provides qualified immunity from criminal or civil liability for the use of reasonable force. Supporters say this will provide a safety layer, while critics argue it will make schools more dangerous.
