HARROLD, Texas (AP) - A tiny Texas district will allow
teachers and staff members to carry concealed firearms to
deter and protect against school shootings when classes
begin this month, provided the gun-toting employees follow
certain requirements.
The small community of Harrold in north Texas is a 30-minute
drive from the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office, leaving
students and teachers without protection, said David
Thweatt, superintendent of the Harrold Independent School
District. The lone campus of the 110-student district sits
near a heavily traveled highway, which could make it a
target, he argued.
"When the federal government started making schools gun-free
zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would
you put it out there that a group of people can't defend
themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em' to a dog," Thweatt
said in a story published Friday on the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram's Web site.

Could you clarify exactly what the danger is of teachers carrying
guns in schools?

There was a time when those would have been fightin' words around
here, Kent! It's rather Little Bobby Ford whose name's utterance
leaves a bitter taste in one's mouth.
