Texas school district to allow teachers to carry
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5945430.html
"When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can't defend themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em' to a dog," Thweatt said in Friday's online edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Re: Texas school district to allow teachers to carry
As a teacher I don't think we should be armed in school. There is no time to second guess when the time comes to pull the trigger. I wouldn't want to be in a situation like that. I however am not opposed to armed security guards in schools.

Re: Texas school district to allow teachers to carry
I don't think anyone wants to be in a situation, but people want to be prepared and rightfully be able to defend their lives. Why don't you think teachers should be allowed to carry? Do you know administrators and teachers have prevented shootings on campus? Granted, a vice principal had to run half a mile to his car to retrieve his gun since guns weren't allowed on campus, but he was still able to confront the armed student and disarm him without any loss of life or injury.

Re: Texas school district to allow teachers to carry
The law with the school even goes so far as to require frangible (or the like) rounds to reduce chance of ricochet. I don't know of anyone who carries because it makes them feel comfortable, I do know many who do because they consider it a duty.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom ... go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels nor arms. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Samuel Adams

Re: Texas school district to allow teachers to carry
That applies pretty much everywhere. If you have time to second guess, you most likely have another option. As the husband of a teacher, and having other family members working in schools, I wish the law and school district employee policies very clearly supported the rights of district employees and visitors to have the means to defend themselves and those around them.
