Texas School District Will Let Teachers Carry Guns

Governor Rick Perry is backing this experiment where, after thorough firearms training, teachers will be carrying concealed in this small school district. Here are two reports at...

Now we're talking a cure.

Hell yeah! I'm tellin' ya folks...even if the rest of the country is crazy, Texas has at least a passing relationship with reality. "Gun free zones"=shooting galleries/killing fields.

Immigrate now, before it's too late. All y'all on Kahrtalk are welcome. Even Crabbyazz.

Here's another idea too...with the cost of training teachers to carry why don't they use that money to have one trained mandatory security person at each school? I'm not surprised to see Texas as the first state stepping up with this landmark proposition.

One small complication with this...

I copied this from a Tweet by Nutnfancy (the YouTube guy). I didn't watch "60 Minutes" this evening, but it seems that all of you guys are kinda "iffy". Check this out:

"60 Minutes expert says: "Anyone who practices with weapons has a high probability of becoming a murderer or mass shooter."

Texas gets it right. This will never happen in Oregon. Here they will just try to take away all guns from the good guys, so no one could shoot back at the criminally insane.

I was going to post this as a very real and effective solution to protecting our children.

This psycho suicidal/homicidal maniac off-ed himself as soon as he heard sirens approach.
If he had known teachers were/may have been armed,
I'm sure he would have picked a different venue for the attack.

The government can't protect us.
They never could.
We must protect ourselves by being mentally and physically aware and prepared.

Let Teachers Carry Arms, Ban Gun-Free Zones

Gun Expert Lott: Let Teachers Carry Arms, Ban Gun-Free Zones to Halt Mass Shootings

Banning gun-free zones and allowing teachers to carry concealed weapons could help eliminate mass shootings at schools, John R. Lott, one of the nation's leading gun experts, tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview Saturday.

Lott, an author and college professor, told Newsmax that gun-free zones become “a magnet” for deranged killers who hope to burn their names into the history books by running up a big body count.

Lott’s landmark book "More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws" is in its 3rd edition. He told Newsmax there is a “very good chance” the Connecticut school shooting could have been averted, if teachers there were permitted to carry concealed handguns.

It is no accident, he said, that mass shootings repeatedly have occurred in designated gun-free zones, which attract lunatics looking to murder as many souls as possible before they turn their guns on themselves.

There's been a picture circulating on Facebook depicting a teacher in Israel slinging a rifle as she accompanies her children, implying Israeli teachers are armed.

Not sure how true that is, but how many school shootings does Israel have?

They used to have some school shootings, which is why they sensibly armed the teachers (with proper training, of course). Not only so, but very many of the parents carry guns when accompanying their children to or from school. Now, they have no school shootings. El Al Airline used to have hijackings until they started putting a couple of armed sky cops in EVERY plane. Now, no hijackings. And in their security screenings they use profiling, not frisking grandmothers and little children.

You know, it is way past time that those of us with intelligence and good sense get on the soap box and force the narrative toward common sense solutions instead of continuing to let the idiots go unckecked!

Having an unchecked idiot as president,
with the power to issue executive orders,
It seems we have a rough ride ahead.

Now that is proactive! But will the individual States allow the teachers to carry? But at least it's a start.

[Bawanna]

Teachers most likely will not carry even if allowed. Most are from the take away the tools and there won't be any danger side.

Most teachers I know and I know a lot from taking 3 kids thru the entire system are wicked smart but sorely lacking in common sense. IE: Democrats.

The public school system is part of the socialist agenda. Positive reinforcement and all that warm and fuzzy stuff.

There are exceptions of course, far in the minority but for them being allowed to carry would be a huge beginning. Sadly I fear too little too late and I'm sure they will require 6 months of training and bummer will want to tax it somehow.
