- Neighbors from all over the state came to the capitol on Thursday for a Second Amendment rally.
- With a goal of safer schools, one woman believes arming teachers is the best solution.
“If I think there is one thing that we can all agree on, it’s to keep our children safe.”
Katie Gardner is a mom, who drops off her child every day at school, with a silent prayer.
“Every mother, especially in today’s climate is always concerned about if they’re going to have a safe day today,” Gardner said.
One way she advocates for safety is through the Second Amendment.
Gardner joined other neighbors at the capitol steps to support gun rights.
“It’s so important to create a place to share their stories and feel empowered to talk about it,” Gardner said.
She reaches out to women in our neighborhoods about gun ownership, education, and training. She wants to help make women and teachers, their own first responders.
“If we have someone on the inside that confident and is able to protect our children then it’s much better than waiting on a phone call to the police officers nearby,” Gardner said.
