Hundreds of Texas educators take free concealed handgun class
A concealed handgun training class envisioned by former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle before his death drew hundreds of educators to a Texas school auditorium Saturday.
More than 700 teachers and administrators attended the all-day session on gun laws and safety at Kennedale High School in Dallas-Fort Worth area, The Dallas Morning News reported.
A bit more:
Teachers from across the state and at least one representative from each school district in North Texas attended the class, which was organized in response to the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., according to the report.
Participants who complete the required live-ammunition firing training will be eligible for concealed-handgun licenses, the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported.
Last week, the Texas Senate Education Committee approved a plan to train armed teachers for gunfights in classrooms or at campus sporting events or board meetings.
Good news. This will go a long way to cut down on school shootings. The shooters may be sick in the head but they are not stupid and will be disinclined to try anything where there is the chance of an armed response.
The Aurora 'Batman' shooter picked the only theater near his apartment that was posted as a Gun Free Zone. It was neither the closest to his apartment nor was it the largest auditorium -- it was the only one posted No Guns.
