Updates to Illinois law require fi****ms to be placed in a securely locked box or container, and not just a location believed to be secure from kids, anyone prohibited from having a firearm, or a person at-risk of harming themselves or others. You could face fines, or worse, a tragedy, if you don’t.

Data show these reactive initiatives are ineffective at preventing school violence, can make students and staff feel less safe, and only bring new risks into schools. Our kids deserve better—they deserve meaningful solutions that prevent gun violence before it happens. https://everytownresearch.org/report/unpacking-arming-teachers-laws/
