The 83rd Legislature: Guns In Schools Watch

I feel strongly that guns do not belong in schools.  Teachers are not law enforcement officers and only people with the level of expertise of a law enforcement officer (and I don't mean some dopey deputization program) should be allowed to have guns in a school.

We need to keep close tabs on where our dear legislators take this issue in the coming weeks.  Here is what has been proposed so far:

HB 223 would allow CHL  school board members and school board officials to pack heat at school board meetings.  Clearly filed by someone who has never attended a school board meeting.  

SB 182 would allow CHL  students to carry guns on college and university campuses.  Because adolescents stressed by the transition of moving away from home for the first time should be armed.  

People just do not think.
