Teachers authorised to carry guns

 

Things just got even tougher in Texas. The Lone Star state, which prides itself on its macho Western cowboy image, is now to have the first school district in America in which teachers can carry concealed guns.

 

The tiny community of Harrold, in the far north of the state, has recently approved a local decision that allows its teachers to bring firearms to school to protect against possible shootings........

 

.....Local officials have argued that the single campus in their 110-student district is too far away from the nearest sheriff's office if there were an emergency. They have also said that a nearby main road might increase the chances of a dangerous gunman attacking the school.

 

In a local newspaper interview, David Thweatt, the superintendent of the Harrold Independent School District, defended the decision and said keeping guns out of schools was more dangerous than having them in.

 

'When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started.

 

The last sentence is just American logic at it's finest.

Brilliant idea, takes the random out of random shooting by making sure that you nail the teacher first
