Bill to Allow Stun Guns and Pepper Spray in Schools is Defeated

I blogged last week about a bill wending its way through the Virginia legislature. The bill would allow security officers to carry dangerous weapons—stun guns, pepper spray, and batons—on school campuses. I thought the bill unwise, since it risked magnifying, rather than minimizing, violence in schools. Apparently, the Senate Committee on Education and Health agreed because it “failed to report” the bill to the full Senate. If I am correct, this means the bill has been defeated.

    Attorney Tor and the whole team at Spangenberg Shibley & Liber, including the receptionist, made me feel welcome, comforted, and confident throughout my case. They showed me respect and kindness from start to finish.

    I was feeling uncertain but after I met with Nick I felt at ease & confident. Communication was great, I was constantly informed and everyone was genuine & compassionate.

    Coming in, we were unsure if we had a case. After meeting with Peter Brodhead, we were very confident with him. I was always comfortable because everyone was professional and friendly.

    I liked the professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness of your team efforts. I would like Sheila Schebek recognized for her knowledge of account details as quickly as I presented questions. She provided confidence and security in all matters.
