AUSTIN, Texas - "Texas Gov. Rick Perry indicated Monday that he supports a school district's decision to allow teachers and staff to pack guns for protection when classes start this month.

Trustees of the Harrold Independent School District approved a policy change last year to allow employees to carry concealed firearms to deter and protect against school shootings."

NOT a good idea. and I can give you a real life example. Teacher is walking arond the class. for whatever reason he has pissed off one student. as the teacher passes by the student, said student picks up a desk and wails on the teacher. Hurts him real bad. 1) a gun wouldn't have prevented such an attack and 2) if he had had a gun on him, that crazed student would now have a gun on him. or some other miscreant little child would have taken it off his prone body.

I know this stuff first hand. Students don't think about consequences, they react to the moment. All a gun is going to do is wind up in the wrong hands.
