IN the tiny Texan town of Harrold, children and their parents don't give much thought to safety at the community's lone school - mostly because some teachers carry concealed weapons.
The nearest sheriff's office is 30 minutes away so the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.
"We don't have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution," Superintendent David Thweatt said. "We can protect our children."
In the aftermath of last week's Connecticut elementary school shooting, lawmakers in a growing number of states - including Oklahoma, Missouri, Minnesota, South Dakota and Oregon - have said they will consider allowing teachers and administrators to carry firearms at school.
