Curly McCrae Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The principal at the Sandy Hook Elementary School confronted the gunman, but she obviously wasn't armed or trained or the headlines would probabaly been quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Dutch, I believe that school isn't far from where I live. They authorize it but I don't know how many teachers carry. It is a smaller school so I doubt they'd have much to worry about. But you never know. Good to see a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Hill Tirador Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 You are correct, Dorado. That particular school is about 25 miles straight west of me on US287. Given the rural location, the hog and deer population and the mindset in general of rural Texans, I can guarantee you many of the kids already have guns in their trucks while attending school. The culture of this part of the state and rural Texas in particular is difficult for many to grasp, but guns are simply an every day part of life.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Now the media will wail at arming teachers and rant infinitely about the potential danger to the kids, themselves, and the wild west mentality ad nauseam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My high school history teacher kept a 1911 and a pouch of Redman Golden blend in his top desk drawer. He was also a Methodist minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoken D Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The guy I volunteer with at the local kids camp is a preacher. His little church is WAY down in the woods and a good 50 miles from any LE agency. He has a CCW permit and has it on while preachen. Now our local high school most of the kids have their rifles in the back of their pick-em-ups. Especially this time of the year. In September it's Bow's mounted in the back window of those trucks This time of year our local paper usually has on the front page a photo of some 10-14 year olds with their first deer kill and one heck of a smile on their faces. Would not see that in the big city. Gotta love liven out here in the kountry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I went to high school in West Virginia !!! I had a 1911 in my locker all the way through school. I wasn't the only one. No-one worried about a school shooting. I would often practice just after school with some of my friends. No Harm, No foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
