Ariz Law Rev article on arming teachers

The article suggests that it's the best way to deal with the risks, far better than enacting meaningless firearms restriction.
Not sure where the authors got the impression that Hawaii had "permissive" gun laws, but it is completely inaccurate.
Although there is no statutory language specifically allowing school carry, it is not one of few "authorized" places to keep a firearm. Hawaii, unlike most states, does not say where you cannot legally have a gun (Courthouse, polling place, church, etc.). Rather, it says where it is legal to "keep and carry," such as a range, a place of repair, or the police station. Any place else, not specifically listed as being "authorized" is illegal.
And, considering that only 4 concealed carry permits have been issued in the state since 1999, and that those permits need to be renewed yearly, it is extremely unlikely that anyone is carrying legally, school or not.
