Sign at TX School: 'Teachers Armed, Can Use Any Force Necessary'
One Texas school district has unveiled a sign on school grounds warning that its teachers are armed.
“Please be aware that the staff at Argyle ISD are armed and may use whatever force is necessary to protect our students," the sign reads.
Seven states - Texas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama - have passed legislation to make it legal for teachers to carry a gun following the Dec. 2012 Sandy Hook shooting.
Greg Coker, creator of the Shield 91 program that helps schools effectively arm teachers, talked to Brian Kilmeade this morning, explaining the process by which armed teachers are chosen.
Coker, a Special Ops veteran, says he is on a "crusade" to prevent another attack like Sandy Hook, which took the lives of 20 children and six adults.
He said the program is worth it if it can save even one life. Coker noted that most school shootings are carried out in about five minutes, but it usually takes police about 10 minutes to respond.
Coker said a properly trained individual can draw and fire in two seconds, adding that the goal is to delay the shooter's actions until law enforcement arrives.

What's your take on the school's policy? Do you feel your child is more or less safe with their teacher carrying a gun?
