A school district in Oklahoma announced this week that several of its teachers are training for concealed carry permits. The teachers are expected to begin carrying in the classroom in November. Wilson Public Schools announced that six of its teachers have enrolled in the training. The district superintendent said that having armed teachers in each of the district’s school buildings would make the students safer. “In today’s world with things that are happening, you have to do whatever you can to protect your school district and the children who come to school here…and that’s what we are doing,” Superintendent Eric Smith told a local news outlet. Although Wilson Public Schools is the first district in Oklahoma to allow its teachers to be armed, other districts will likely follow suit. Oklahoma passed a law earlier this year allowing designated school personnel to carry firearms. “I’m sure there will be more – we have a lot of rural schools in Oklahoma,” said Ginger Tinney, executive director of Professional Oklahoma Educators. “It would take a long time for law enforcement to get there.” Tinney said that many teachers view being armed as a necessary precaution. “For our members, it’s the last line of defense,” Tinney said. “Ultimately, they want to protect their students.”

Good on them. Not only will the schools be safer but we can also do away with that bullshit gun free zone in that school district. An armed soceity is a polite soceity.

Several in Texas have school-issued pistols, but it's not publicized.
