Texas town allowing teachers to carry concealed guns

One of the very reasons I am moving back to Texas from NY. Leased is signed and move in next month. I'm ready for the gun show as well.

So education is gonna stop bullets from flying? From what I've read the Sandy Hook shooter was highly intelligent.

And let's say u do homeschool. What happens if an armed lunatic breaks into your home? Sit around and wait for God knows how lo g before the cops show up? Come on now.

Bibletard???

Thank u

They don't need to be armed. They WANT to be armed. Big difference.

Beats the crap out of cowering in a corner.

Rule #1: don't be a victim.

Most teachers are parents as well.


And teachers following proper lockdown procedures combined with armed personell do protect our kids.


There have been very few cases of school shootings in texas since the 1800's.

The 2 of most note to this topic are of course the clock tower massacre. And the sad events that happend in brownsville texas where and 8th grader attacked a few kids at random in classrooms by punching/kicking them then pulled out a pellet gun and raised it at the police officers that responded, after several atempts to get the boy to lay down his unidentified weapon they officers shot and killed the boy. The parents while distraught over what happend never actualy sued the school or officers.

Since that incident officers and teachers are taught to only shoot to kill perpatrators that are activley engaging targets.

How so? The stats speak for themselves. CHL holders have the LOWEST accidental discarge rate. Even better than law enforcement personnel. So where safety is a consern, you need not worry.

Uh, part of my education at home IS firearms training, as well as construction, woodworking, welding, fire building, wood cutting, and on and on and on.

There is NOTHING my children need in public school and the only reason cops would be called to my home is to write the report on why there is was dead fool who thought he could harm anyone in my family.

Again, your stand on government intrusion on the right to keep and bare arms is the issue.

Yes, teachers should be able to voluntarily carry in schools, yes the school should provide professional training.

And please stop bringing up "Facts" about the supposed shooter in Sandy HK, there are so many holes in the official story it should not even be considered as a factual basis for any intelligent discussion on the subject.

What I see in that picture: a rifle that is as inanimate as the bag she is holding. There is no difference until the rifle is shouldered and taken off 'Safe'.

I bet NO ONE is gonna mess with her kids. She has made herself and her surroundings a much harder target. Bad guys like easy targets.

Exactly

Many schools in Texas have always done this. It has always been allowed. Not long ago guns were carried to church. High school students carried rifles in their trucks to school loaded, never in thirty five years in our district did we have a shooting, hmmm. The schools in Texas that did have problems were non gun carrying. We are safe as long as we are armed to protect the innocent against predators. Other wise we are at their mercy, in which most have no mercy.

The answer to this problem is more freedom...not less!

Back when I was a kid people brought guns to school all the time. A lot of kids had gun racks in their pickups. We usually brought a shotgun in our vehicles during dove season so we could go dove hunting after school. Hell if you sold enough sausage and fruit in Ag class you could win a 12ga pump shotgun as the top prize. The coaches, shop teachers and ag teachers were the same way, they always had rifles or shotguns in their offices or in their vehicles during hunting season, we would even compare guns with the teachers for Christ's sake...

No one ever came and tried to shoot up our school...why, because we had the ability to return fire...

This is a very libertarian attitude -- big government can't protect us -- it can only oppress us with taxes, thus we take the government into our own hands and solve our ownproblems.

BRAVO to them.

Just like all the soldiers at Ft. Hood...FAIL!

YOU IDIOT!!!

The FT Hood shooting took place in a GUN FREE ZONE! Guns Were not allowed.

Yeah he did his shooting in a security area where they weren't allowed to have weapons...not like he tried that shit on the rifle range buddy...

If you notice, the shooters with the highest body counts have always done their shooting in the "Gun Free" zones. Laughner and the Portland Mall Shooter could have been infinitely worse, but for the fact armed citizens detered them from continuing the shooting...

Yes, HORRIBLE, DISTASTFUL, AND INACURATE, comment.

The shooting took place in one of the only gun free zones on that base, you sir are a horrible and ilinformed person.

bane this fool!

Like mama bears, they also want to protect those babies when necessary.

There were SSRI drugs in 1950?

I'm on a school board, and I can tell you more teachers in Texas are armed than just this one school...

it's the wild wild west all over again. nothing new.

teacher is israeli and probably military trained. i would feel very comfortable with a child in her classroom.

our teachers demand "gun-free zones" and as we see "gun free" is another was of saying "sitting ducks."

Wrong-o. Again.!

Chicago and DC are the Wild West all over again, if you need a comparison. ( Certainly not some small town in Texas.) One cannot carry a gun legally, outside law enforcement, in either of those places.

can you say: "the wild wild west all over the country again"?

go ahead, spit it out, you can say it.

See this would have definitely changed the scenario at Sandy Hook. Lanza struts into the main Sandy Hook school hallway heavily armed and body armored, a modern day "Rambo" meets "Psycho" if you will.

Then six teachers and a principal all emerge from classroom doors, three on each side of the hallway and the principals office at the far end of the hallway.

The Magnificent 7, if you will, are all packing Magnum 500 hand cannons.

I think the story would have ended a bit differently.

But it's not true. So why would I say it?

So what happens when a teacher goes crazy and has that power in his/her hands?
