    Good for you. You would be well protected but not much of a teacher to where your students would learn something. You'd have a better career at a shooting range.

    Peace

    I've always found that children, like women but to a lesser degree, require a little smackin' around before you can learn 'em up right.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    And what in a school could possibly make a teacher really really angry?

    A bad student constantly going after the teacher . . .

    Inappropriate sexual relations w/ a student gone bad . . .

    Many possibilities.

    I'd feel safer if my teacher could cap some kid who was gettin' outta line.

    "Tommy, please sit down in your seat."

    "Fuck you Mr. CorporateWhore, I don't have to do what you say you right wing asshole!"

    "My .45 magnum disagrees, Tommy." :: pats his holster ::

    "Yesss sirrrrr...:-("
    Make sure you pat the right holster.

    As long as its the girl doin' the "bitch"slapping. Nothing like a good slap in the face to show me I'm still in charge.

    I don't agree with it, but it's really not that surprising. This is Texas they are talking about.

    What is that supposed to mean?

    It's one tiny school district in the armpit of Texas. Don't paint a whole state with a broad brush.

    I've lived in Texas my whole life and never even saw a gun until I was 25 ... and went to visit my in-laws -- IN COLORADO.

    Another misnomer: We don't all talk with that President Bush accent, either.

    I work a job that requires me to basically travel to every major city in America at least once a year, and some in Canada. The one comment I get more than any other: "Well, you don't SOUND like you're from Texas."

    I always get a kick out of that. Like the whole state is one big Western movie.

    Because Texas isn't one big John Wayne movie, not everybody here has guns, and most of us don't.

    I haven't really paid attention to him since he left the New Orleans Saints.

    Why are the shootings at schools anyways? I mean they are declared "gun free" zones are they not? No one is allowed to carry guns in schools because of "gun free" zones so why worry about school shootings at all?

    Colombine must have not been declared a "gun free" zone because if it were then no one could have brought guns there!

    MORE GUN FREE ZONES!!!!

    I always figured it was because back in the old days if you were 16 and just itching to shoot someone you could lie about your age, sign up for war and be sent overseas to shoot at Germans or Commies. Once you were sent off to war, you either got shot yourself or realized that shooting someone is pretty serious shit and got it out of your system.

    1. "the small community is a 30-minute drive from the sheriff's office, leaving students and teachers without protection. He said the district's lone campus sits 500 feet from heavily trafficked U.S. 287, which could make it a target.

    The kindergarten through 12th grade school district is home to 110 students."

    PLEASE, look at this link, it's not a negative thing, it just makes the point to the bigger question. The reason for teachers with guns is bullshit.

    http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/district_detail.asp?start=0&ID2=4822620

    -- Bigger question is - Why do we even need police officers? Ever here of a police substation? Roving security guard, like at universities? This so called tiny school district and community DOES NOT have enough crime activity to even warrant the cost of the county board to put a police substation or assign a police officer in the area during the months school is in session. Hell, they could even deputize a community official during the school term. Instead, their solution is CHEAPER arm the teachers and school employees. If anything, they should be more concerned about people dying in tornado activity as this county sit in the heart of tornado alley.

    No, the sole purpose of this is to establish a nation-wide test case for teachers and school employees to openly carry handguns affixed to their person like a cellphone during work. Yet it doesn't establish any ground rules for using these weapons.


    2. "must use ammunition that is designed to minimize the risk of ricochet in school halls."

    I'm a gun owner, both handgun and rifle, the type of bullets they are recommending are prefragmented bullets, hollow point and expanding bullets, shit that tear up a person's or animal's insides but doesn't leave much of the bullet to exit the body.

    3. It's illegal to spank a child, but not to kill a child, yet, it is mandatory that a child go to school, but not mandatory that a person becomes a teacher or school employee.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
