September has been a busy month for law enforcement in Blount County Schools. On Sept. 12, BCSO announced it had charged three students with making threats of mass violence on school property. The newly designated Class E felony carries a weightier sentence than before, and law enforcement across the state is cracking down on the threats.

In addition, an elementary school went on lockdown when someone was carrying a gun on the grounds.

The someone carrying a Glock 19 gun on school grounds turned out to be a bus driver.

"...officials said the incident presented no threat and students were never in danger." He was charged "with a misdemeanor count of carrying weapons on school property."

I'm not sure I would feel safe after this incident. How many times had this person carried a gun while not getting caught? How many other school workers are carrying guns?
