Harrold, TEXAS

Teachers in this Texas school district will be packing this fall. And not for a trip.

August 15, 2008 - The board of the Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved a plan to allow teachers and staff members who are certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas to carry concealed guns in school this fall.

Teachers who want to carry have to have permission from school officials. They will receive crisis training in hostile situations and will be required to use ammunition designed to minimize the risk of ricocheting bullets.

The reason? The school is a 30-minute drive to the Walbarger County Sheriff's Office.

TT - What else can you say except, God Bless, America! These folks in a remote rural town take their responsibility to protect students seriously.
