Texas Gov. Does’nt Mind Teachers Packin’ Heat

Texas Gov.Rick Perry said teachers should be allowed to carry guns in school.

via Dallas News AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry said Monday that he supported the Harrold school district policy to allow teachers and staff members to carry guns at school as long as they are adequately trained in gun safety.
