Texas Town Allows Teachers to Carry Concealed Guns, Superintendent Defends Policy  in Wake of Sandy Hook Shooting

In 2007, the Harrold, Texas school district made the decision to allow teachers to carry concealed guns at school to protect their students against potential violence. In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting, and amid new calls for gun control, that district’s methods are getting a closer look.

David Thweatt, Superintendent of Harrold district schools, joinedFox and Friends to defend the gun policy. He noted the “passive” security precautions taken, including cameras and magnetic locked doors, but stressed that a plan was needed to really protect the children.

“What seemed to me to be a problem … is that we basically left our schools open to attack — This is like putting a sign in front of your house that says ‘I really think that it’s a good idea to come and attack me because I don’t believe in guns’ — and that’s exactly what we were trying to avoid,” he said.

Security guards are a good idea, but if the guard is sick one day, what happens then? “Those of us in rural areas, we are our first responders,” he said.

He also talked about the fact that the Sandy Hook shooting was over in a matter of minutes. Even though police officers, who are heroes, try to respond as quickly as possible, “they are not there most of the time on time.”

He also said that parents are accepting of this extra security and he thinks it would work in other places as well.
