"A grand total of five school districts out of over 1000 in the State of California has adopted such policies. And guess how many incidents there have been involving CCW holders with firearms on school grounds? None," Craig DeLuz, the Legislative Director of the Firearms Policy Coalition, said.

Right now, it is illegal in California to bring a firearm on any school campus, even with a concealed carry weapon permit. The exception is if you are a peace officer, or have a special, written consent form from a school official.
This is where Assembly Bill 424 comes in.
Supporters say the bill would close that so-called "loophole" by revoking that authority from school officials.
Many like Martinez said guns should never be allowed on any school campus.
"More guns in schools will not make our children complicates law enforcement's response in case of emergency, and will lead to unintentional shootings," Martinez said.
Opponents of AB 424 said they do not agree with the word "loophole" when talking about the written consent exemption. They also said it does not affect a lot of schools or people in the first place.

DeLuz is also a Trustee for the Robla School District in Sacramento. He believes school officials know their community best.
