I told her just don't get caught. She is still debating on it. I told her if she can push the matter with the school board they might allow it if they bring it to a vote. There is only one documented school here in Texas that allows teachers and administrators to carry. Hopefully our law makers will soon change that for the better. goslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872682122951706730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-75714571923652252922012-12-21T07:44:48.883-05:002012-12-21T07:44:48.883-05:00Garand Gal, thanks, glad you liked.Garand Gal, thanks, glad you liked.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-32003668811976913952012-12-21T07:44:12.783-05:002012-12-21T07:44:12.783-05:00Mamma Bear, Thanks my friend.Mamma Bear, Thanks my friend.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-36362826875290571742012-12-21T07:43:49.979-05:002012-12-21T07:43:49.979-05:00Frank, I would be tempted to find a sure way to ke...Frank, I would be tempted to find a sure way to keep it concealed and do it anyway (but that' me) and not worry about it.

I have suggested to our SRO that teachers with CCHs ought to be able to carry in school. I have mine and feel naked when I go to school. The SRO agreed with the thought, but that the wussies in government would never let that happen. I'm hearing a few states have approved this, or are looking into it.<br /><br />FrankAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-88517258753550127752012-12-20T18:29:32.233-05:002012-12-20T18:29:32.233-05:00Matt, interesting thought, it would set them up fo...Matt, interesting thought, it would set them up for a job forever.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-9218450457373595792012-12-20T18:28:29.086-05:002012-12-20T18:28:29.086-05:00Jon, it would be that.
