Draggingtree Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Posted: 11:00 p.m. Friday, Jan. 4, 2013 Senate leaders consider state funding for teacher gun training By Mike Ward American-Statesman Staff Texas Senate leaders are considering a proposal to provide state-funded special training for school employees with handgun licenses as a way to protect students from “active shooters,” officials confirmed Friday. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said no decision has been made, but if eventually approved, it could work like this: School districts that authorize teachers or employees to carry guns on school campuses — as current state law allows — would be given “special training in cases of an active shooter” at state expense to ensure they would be properly equipped to handle such an emergency.http://www.statesman.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/senate-leaders-consider-state-funding-for-teacher-/nTnLL/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
