Re: Rep Jason Villalba to file bill allowing armed teachers
Is that one chl teacher per 400 students a required minimum or the max allowed? That is not nearly enough.

Do you favor law by Jason Villalba that Allows Teachers to Carry Concealed Guns?

Re: Rep Jason Villalba to file bill allowing armed teachers
teachers need to teach, they have way to much to take care to be armed protectors
two plain clothes armed agents per 300 kids should be affordable.
we could have em armed as backup

Great news. But why 1:400?

Do you carry? Do you use the same reasoning for yourself? If you ever considered using your firearm in defense of others then your statements are hypocritical.

Re: Rep Jason Villalba to file bill allowing armed teachers
According to the Texas Education Agency there were over 4.9 million students in Texas public schools in 2010-2011. That's probably at about 5 million now. Two agents per 300 students would yield about 33,300 agents. Who pays their salaries, medical care, pensions? Then we'd have to have people to recruit, train, certify and supervise those 33K, maybe another few thousand. Then we'd have to equip all those agents with weapons, communication systems, etc, etc, and maintain said equipment. In a time of significant pressure to cut government spending, who's going to foot the bill?powerboatr wrote:teachers need to teach, they have way to much to take care to be armed protectors

Not to mention that we all have regular day jobs. By powerbtr's logic, all of us should hand in our CHLs and turn over our pistols to police buy-back programs, as none of us have time to protect ourselves and our families.oldtexan wrote:According to the Texas Education Agency there were over 4.9 million students in Texas public schools in 2010-2011.

Police chief agrees

Just cross-linking for ease of finding in 2013 Leg session if someone needs it (like when Charles quickly needed to find a post about USACE property once)
