Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says he plans to sign a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns. The State House passed the bill along party lines earlier this week, and on Thursday Lee confirmed he plans to sign the bill into law. The legislation would allow certain teachers to carry guns in their classrooms.
