A new state law requires every Utah school to have an armed guardian on site, every day.
The goal is to protect against school threats. But several districts are struggling to find volunteers willing to respond with lethal force.

They must volunteer. KSL Reporter Deanie Wimmer has been talking to schools and shares insight.
