Texas Town Allows Teachers To Carry Concealed Guns

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.

"We don't have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution," Superintendent David Thweatt said. "A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but our teachers have master's degrees, are older and have had extensive training. And their guns are hidden. We can protect our children."

Woo-Woo, good job and as a Teacher I am transferring there. It strongly appears that Maryland School System is like the Prison system, but we do not have barb wire to keep the criminal school kids in.
