The teen started Initiative-175 and if he can collect the necessary signatures, it may just find its way to the 2016 ballot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt bothers me whenever we have a national tragedy such as a Sandy Hook or Columbine that the first thing people want to do is take guns away from the very people who could stop incidents like this,\u201d said Billi. \u201cThe possibility that there could be a teacher carrying [on school grounds] I think is going to act as more of a deterrent to violence in our schools than the current signs we have outside our schools that say, \u201cNo Firearms Allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Montana School Superintendent Denise Juneau says the measure is not only risky, but unnecessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause schools are supposed to be safe places for learning, adding guns into that mix threatens that,\u201d said Juneau. \u201cIt just has so much opportunity for crisis to happen that it\u2019s just a bad idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many would argue that the very absence of guns on school grounds is what makes them especially unsafe, but Juneau disagrees, arguing that schools are actively working on developing crisis-response protocols<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m not going to support the new initiative,\u201d said Juneau.<\/p>\n<p>Billi, however, remains undeterred. The high school teen realizes what most anti-gunners do not: that bad guys don\u2019t obey the law.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf somebody is dead set on killing somebody, the law is the last thing on their mind,\u201d said Billi. \u201cThe way you stop someone like that is you put a gun in the victim\u2019s hands. The whole purpose of a concealed handgun is that nobody knows you have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Billi must collect 24,000 valid voter signatures in order to get Initiative-175 on the 2016 ballot. So if you\u2019re in Montana and believe armed school personnel would make schools a safer place, be sure to sign I-175. <\/p>\n<p>Photo: https:\/\/www.guns.com\/2015\/09\/01\/montana-teacher-carry-initiative-approved-to-proceed\/<\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission from freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 17-year-old junior at Montana\u2019s Whitefish High School is collecting signatures for a new bill that would allow employees with a concealed carry permit to be armed at school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":42144,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,326,240],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42143","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-brent","10":"category-this-week","11":"tag-buzz","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Student, 17, Starts Petition for Concealed Carry in Montana Schools<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A 17-year-old junior at Montana\u2019s Whitefish High School is collecting signatures for a new bill that would allow employees with a CCW to be armed at school.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/student-17-starts-petition-for-concealed-carry-in-montana-schools\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Student, 17, Starts Petition for Concealed Carry in Montana Schools\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A 17-year-old junior at Montana\u2019s Whitefish High School is collecting signatures for a new bill that would allow employees with a concealed carry permit to be armed at school.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/student-17-starts-petition-for-concealed-carry-in-montana-schools\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-02T12:56:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T00:03:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Student-17-Starts-Petition-For-Concealed-Carry-In-Montana-Schools.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
