Dear Sweet Wife & I both teach middle school science. This is my 14th year and her 18th (I think). Pistols in lock boxes in locked vehicles in a parking lot visable from our classrooms. We would both like to see the school restriction removed, especially during field trips.
I'm an attorney by trade, but I've been a political science professor since 2003. I enjoy teaching MUCH more than practicing law...I tell folks that I'm an attorney in recovery...!
Unfortunately, "carrying" is strictly verboten around the office.

Y'all should consider voting in this poll regarding teachers that carry: A "Should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school?" Go vote at http://www.ktrh.com . It'll be up today (Thursday) only. You can also leave your reasoned opinions in the "talk back" function. I think it would help if the world heard from more teachers on this issue that think they can be responsible with a gun in school.
