The Texas Legislature sent a bill Governor Rick Perry’s desk last week that would train school teachers as marshals and allow them to carry weapons into the classroom. The bill would give teachers 80 hours of training, teach deep psychological profiling, offer training in the areas of firearms, legal and emergency situations. The bill would require all firearms to be locked up “within immediate reach” while in the classroom. However, law enforcement officials said teachers with guns were at risk of being shot by police responding to emergencies at schools.
