Gun Toting Teachers
I just read a news clip I had to reread it to make sure my eyes was not playing tricks on me!
I am baffled by it really! Why would a school district think it would be a good idea to permit their teachers & staff to carry concealed weapons?
I wonder if they looked into the odds of their own weapon being used against them, If brought into a situation that they should need to fire their weapon at a person are they going to be able to do so?
I could set here and write five pages worth of what if's. All I can say is I would not permit my child to go to a school with pistil packing staff!

Texas school district allows teachers to carry guns for protection
AUSTIN, Texas - Along with normal first-day jitters and excitement, students in this tiny district started school Monday wondering which teachers might be toting firearms.
"It was kind of awkward knowing that some teachers were carrying guns," said Adam Lira, 17, a senior. "I don't feel like they should be, 'cause we already have locked doors and cameras. But I didn't feel threatened by it."
Several parents said they had no idea that employees of the K-12 school were allowed to carry concealed guns on campus until recent publicity about the school board's policy, approved quietly last fall. They said they were upset that the rural community near the Oklahoma border had not been able to give input.
