I guess they will have to pack as well...to be taken seriously....in Texas.

I suspect that cops are stressed out at least as much as teachers.

Having sex with students doesn't make one "mentally unstable".

Perhaps not medically, but IMO that is mentally ill.

Good! Then I'm quite certain you will never hear about a nutcase going to those schools and killing 25 kids.

Of course, if the teacher went nuts before this rule, he would surely abide by the current no gun policy for teachers.

Right?

I think this is a higher risk, were talking everyday having easy access to a gun, with kids around. Too many things can go wrong vs. the chance of deterring a mass murderer from the school.

I could only see this in a school where the kids are nuts enough to grab the gun and start shooting. That's a legitimate concern.

As far as teachers going nuts, doesn't worry me any more than it would now.

Ok so let's say the teacher is mental...

Going nuts and not having a gun around is safer than going nuts and having the gun right there.
