And innovative. Just this week, a school district in north Texas (Harrold)
passed a resolution allowing its teachers to carry concealed handguns in
their classroom.

Not at all unusual. We have at least one that far away here in
Whitman Co, Wa and that is in the middle of a agricultural area which
is not all that sparsely settled. In fact in many cases in the middle
of the night I would be lucky to get a deputy to my house withing 30
minutes and I am only 4 miles from the office. Depends on where in
the county the lone deputy on duty happens to be.
