Texas Lieutenant Governor Proposes State Gun Training For Teachers

Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst proposed a policy for schools to become safer from violence.

At a speech to the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Dewhurst called for the state to fund training for teachers and staff at schools.

The training would be more rigorous than normal concealed carry licensing.

It would include special training on how to act in an active shooter situation.

Districts would not be required to participate, and would nominate who they wanted to be carrying.
