North Texas school district will let teachers carry guns

How's this for a deal.  When a kid gets shot by a teacher in this school all the progun people will admit they were wrong and never bring up teachers with guns again.  On the other hand, if a teacher with a gun stops a bad situation from happening all the antigun people will admit they were wrong and will fight for more teachers with guns at school.

I have a feeling one side would be willing to agree to that and one side wont because we all know which event is more likely to occur (neither event will occur though, the odds are greatly against it).

Neither side would ever admit to being wrong, even if both of the above situations happened, of course.

Allowing teachers to have guns in a classroom sets us on a very slippery slope that I'm pretty uncomfortable with.

everyone's had a teacher they thought was nuts or were a little bit scared of. how would them having a gun add to that equation?

I can't imagine Texas doesn't include a mental competency thingy in applying for a concealed carry permit. That should address that problem.

This is a great move, especially since the teachers would be highly screened beforehand.

This is so utterly stupid it boggles the mind, but its Texas so I shouldn't be surprised.

When I say that I'm pro-gun, in general, I do not mean this.  This is absurd.

Absurd.  Teachers should not be allowed to carry guns in school.
