Three-hundred teachers have registered for a free concealed carry course, Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said.
The controversial sheriff announced that he would cover the cost for county educators to take a concealed carry class. After receiving 300 requests, the sheriff said the limit had been reached for the class.
Class dates and times have not been announced.
