Trustees at the Harrold Independent School District approved a district policy change last October so employees can carry concealed firearms to deter and protect against school shootings, provided the gun-toting teachers follow certain requirements.

Superintendent David Thweatt said the small community is a 30-minute drive from the sheriff’s office, leaving students and teachers without protection. He said the district’s lone campus sits 500 feet from heavily trafficked U.S. 287, which could make it a target.

“When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that’s when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can’t defend themselves? That’s like saying ’sic ‘em’ to a dog,” Thweatt said in Friday’s online edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

I think it’s a sound idea. What about you?

Just watch the video.

I get more and more calls about holsters for carrying IWB between the belt buckle and the hip - about 1-2 o’clock on righty’s and 10-11 o’clock for lefty’s.

Gabe Suarez and others have made this mode of carry more popular lately and we’ve been asked to create a holster that works for appendix carry.

We know it’s got to be stable, secure, comfortable, vertical cant and height adjustable. Also, it needs to bring the gun butt in toward the body more than a similar holster would for behind the hip carry.

What else do we need to know to create a holster just for those of you who are looking to appendix carry or improve on the rig you’ve got? 

Despite the Supreme Court ruling, it seems that residents of D.C. are having a tough time getting simple gun rights without convoluted barriers and restrictions.

The U.S.House of Representatives may pass a bill to remedy the situation, but it’s iffy to pass in the Senate where it’s easier to block what they don’t really want.

Here’s a good article from the Washington Post with details. Aren’t you tired of all this lefty B.S. - even after the Supreme Court has spoken?

Stay alert to democrat attempts to reinstitute the “Fairness Doctrine.” It would cause any opinion on the radio to have to be balanced by an opposing opinion as “equal time.” It would likely drive station managers and producers to steer clear of talk radio and commentators like Rush Limbaugh. Nancy Pelosi has already given notice that she’d like to see the fairness doctrine back in force. Here’s a short article that says more about it.

 This is an issue that I will pay attention to and fight against. It’s a first step to “big brother” information management.
