Teachers and Guns in Class

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas Governor Rick Perry is indicating
he's OK with a school district's decision to allow teachers and
staff to carry guns in the classroom.
The Harrold Independent School District approved the measure
last year.
It requires a teacher carrying a gun to school to be properly
licensed. They also must have training in crisis management and
hostile situations, and use ammunition that minimizes the risk of
ricochet.
The superintendent of the district near the Oklahoma border
argues the sheriff's office is a half-hour away, leaving students
and teachers without protection. The district is small, with just
110 students.
In Texas, individual school districts have the option to decide
if teachers can carry guns in the classroom. Asked if other school
districts should follow suit, Perry says it's up to them to decide.
