Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) signed a bill Thursday that will encourage teachers to carry guns or keep guns in their classroom.

The new law will create a program to train teachers in using a firearm and to incentivize school teachers to responsibly secure or carry a firearm on school grounds, according to the measures text.

The new measure builds on an existing law enacted last year that waived concealed-carry permit fees for teachers. The new training measures will only be open to teachers with concealed carry permits, though teachers with a permit who do not participate in the training may still bring their gun to school.

The law will also provide legal protections to participating teachers if they accidentally harm a student or other staff member while carrying or storing their gun, as long as they have acted in good faith and are not grossly negligent with their weapon, according to the laws text.
