Holy .44 mag on the teacher’s desk – lol! “What did you say, kid? You didn’t get your homework done? You DIDN’T get your HOMEWORK DONE!?”
Lol – get a load of this fresh news. A school superintendent in Texas announced today that his school will now allow teachers to pack heat. Check the quote from this news article:
The board of the small rural Harrold Independent School District unanimously approved the plan and parents have not objected, said the district’s superintendent, David Thweatt.
“We have a lock-down situation, we have cameras, but the question we had to answer is, ‘What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?” he said. “It’s just common sense.”
Board members estimate it would take first responders nearly 30 minutes to get to the rural school in an emergency.
Teachers who wish to bring guns will have to be certified to carry a concealed handgun in Texas and get crisis training and permission from school officials, he said.
Yowzer ka-chow-zer, I can see a pile of people throwing a hissy fit over this one – lol.
Of course, packing heat in school was actually quite common in Texas back in the day – BY THE STUDENTS! Check this 1923 El Paso High School yearbook picture of the girls’ rifle team – lol:
Hell, I can remember an old timer in Maine telling me that way back in the day it was nothing for all of the boys to bring their rifles to school during deer season. They’d come into school, set their rifles against the back wall, then all head to the woods after school like it was no big deal.
*sigh*
Where has society taken us since then?

BTW: Thanks to those of you purchasing the Congressional EMP report. Your support is much appreciated, and – if the Russians keep up their Soviet-era tactics – an EMP threat may become very real again.

More schools should adopt this policy.
Finially something in the school policies that makes sense. But to bad the Nanny States won’t have it. Bet someone thinks twice before going into that school to do harm….
When I was a boy growing up in Flagstaff..I carried my 22 rifle to school..the teacher kept it in her jacket closet and the ammo in her desk..then after school we went squirrel hunting ..!! no shit!!!..life was good….

That is awesome! Finally a state that shows some common sense.
What are you talking about “Old Timers”? In the 70’s in northern NH we often brought our guns to school to show the teachers.
Before you laugh think about this: how many school massacres occurred back then? I don’t remember any – and certainly there were none at mine. If someone tried it there would have been need for a fast response from the police department…
Glad to hear there are still some people that have a brain left on this planet. i have been telling people since the first school shootings that if the teachers would have had CC permits how many lives could have been saved? Also side note: I am military and when i was in one of my Training Schools we were assigned taskings to give presentations on our specific career fields and one of our Explosive Ordanance Disposal cats brought in his squads Barret .50 Cal. sniper rifle in for part of his presentation and we were all just amazed! It was the best presentation i have ever seen. The only way it could have been better is if we all got to go put some rounds downrange with it! But alas… Now dont get me wrong i know we are military and all but that is the way show and tell should be! I remember hearing my grandpa talking about taking his rifle to school forshow and tell when he was a youngster. If schools taught gun safety like they should be doing, we would have a lot less children out there shooting themselves or thier friends in the nugget out of sheer ignorance. I was lucky my parents recognized my infatuation with firearms early on in life. They taught me gun safety and respect from the beginning. Some of my friends were not so lucky.
sorry about the long rant and the spelling errors.
No more school shootings!!!!! unless the teacher starts it!!! LOL
