HARROLD, Texas — A tiny Texas district will allow teachers and staff members to carry concealed firearms to deter and protect against school shootings when classes begin this month, provided the gun-toting employees follow certain requirements.
The small community of Harrold in north Texas is a 30-minute drive from the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office, leaving students and teachers without protection, said David Thweatt, superintendent of the Harrold Independent School District. The lone campus of the 110-student district sits near a heavily traveled highway, which could make it a target, he argued.
"When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can't defend themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em' to a dog," Thweatt said in a story published Friday on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Web site. (Read the rest if you can stomach it.)
What would Molly Ivins say about this?
Texas -- the state where you're not allowed to buy a vibrator, but guns? Hey, no problem.
Sheesh.

Tell me you're kidding about the vibrator !! ....how incredibly dumb can that be and to think that it is what our kids are learning.
Please, please, please let us get out of this administration and on to a half-way sane country.
What about the rights of those people who want to know if they, or their children, are in the presence of someone who is carrying a gun? Are they required by law to attend or send their kids to school even if they object to being around people who might be carrying guns?
I thought it was legal to buy a vibrator as long as you pretended it was a "massage aid," and dildos are "instructional models."
I am speechless.
Yeah, I was stretching the truth a little when I said you're not allowed to buy a vibrator. You just can't CALL it a vibrator. Now I'm going to have to search YouTube for that precious video of the incomparable Molly Ivins. God, I miss her!
no wonder the world laughs at us
And we, in turn, laugh at Texas. Wish they'd have outlawed that big dildo GWB.
When vibrators are outlawed, only outlaws wll have vibrators...sorry, had to say it....
poodledoc, that's one of my favorite truisms. It's all-purpose:
When large black standard poodles are outlawed, only outlaws will have large black standard poodles. And if they're named "Duke", THAT's worth a one way trip to Gitmo! For you AND the dog!
Duke will look good in an orange jumpsuit!
Yes, orange is one of his best colors.....
