Armed Teachers in Texas

Texas is one of the states that allow teachers to carry concealed firearms. Concho Valley schools that allow teachers to carry firearms

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't even live in Texas, but I believe that Texas has one program to arm teachers. It is known as Guardian. It dates to 2009 according to what I have seen.

These are the benefits of a Guardian program, according to the Tom Green County Sheriff Nick Hanna:

“It establishes for somebody wanting to attack that they are going to meet resistance,” Hanna said. “The fact that these schools are in the county, even if officers are nearby, our response time is going to be several minutes away. When we have Guardians, you are going to buy yourself a little bit of time, and that’s when the minutes really matter.”

There is a great image of a sign you meet on the way into one of the schools, that basically says if you come here expecting to do harm, armed teachers will do harm right back at you. You should click thru for that alone.

And while they provide a list of Guardian schools near San Angelo, Texas, they also provide a list on non-guardian schools. I suppose the the Professional Journalists™ think that second list is of superior schools, though they do note those schools have a school resource officer.
