"We cannot continue to be shackled by politically correct, reflexive, anti-gun sentiment in the face of the obvious: Our schools are soft targets," said state Rep. Mark McCullough, R-Sapulpa.
"It is incredibly irresponsible to leave our schools undefended - to allow mad men to kill dozens of innocents when we have a very simple solution available to us to prevent it," he said.
"I've been considering this proposal for a long time. In light of the savagery on display in Connecticut, I believe it's an idea whose time has come."
State Sen. Ralph Shortey, R-Oklahoma City, agreed.
"Taking a restrictive approach to our Second Amendment rights would be the worst possible decision," Shortey said. "Allowing teachers and administrators with concealed-carry permits the ability to have weapons at school events would provide both a measure of security for students and a deterrent against attackers."
