Stunned but not surprised
posted by larkynnYou know all the stereotypes of Texans are not always unwarranted when this happens:
“The Harrold Independent School District in rural Texas has given the go-ahead to teachers who wish to carry firearms in school, though they will need to get crisis training, certification to carry a concealed weapon as well as permission from the district. “We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, ‘What if somebody gets in?…It’s just common sense,” explained Superintendent David Thweatt.”
The community is supporting the plan as well, citing the nearness of the highway and the thirty mile distance to the sheriff’s office as reasons why this is an important step for the security of the children.

I really don’t have a problem with that. Here is someone that is protecting our kids. Just like Pilots having guns as a deterrent. Here is what I do have a problem with, where are these teachers going to store the guns? Kids have a hard enough time sneaking guns into school, what if the teachers walk in and the kids over-power them?

I am not too concerned with the thing either - but then we are Texans and have a different outlook than many.
Teachers will have concealed permits but not all will have guns. In theory a student might have to take out a few teachers before they find one with a weapon.

Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping.
