Indiana state lawmakers are grappling with a bill on protecting school children and teachers. The proposal would have required someone in each public and charter school in the state to have access to a gun. There have been some changes. Indiana State Rep. Jim Lucas is one of the main advocates for guns in school, and he explains why he supports the bill. Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon opposes the bill and offers her disagreement of the proposal.
