Texas town allows teachers to carry concealed guns

HARROLD, Texas — In this tiny Texas town, children and their parents don't give much thought to safety at the community's lone school — mostly because some of the teachers are carrying concealed weapons.

In remote Harrold, the nearest sheriff's office is 30 minutes away, and people tend to know — and trust — one another. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.

In the awful aftermath of last week's Connecticut elementary school shooting, lawmakers in a growing number of states — including Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota and Oregon — have said they will consider laws allowing teachers and school administrators to carry firearms at school.

Yep. Saw this when I got into work this morning. Refreshing to see a little common sense in a sea of overly emotional responses.

Definitely getting more states, including this one, to get teacher carry passed would put the other side on the defense instead of letting them run wild with their insanity.
