Texas town lets teachers carry concealed guns
Students arrived for the first day of classes at the Harrold Independent School District in Harrold, Texas. The school has a policy allowing teachers and other employees to carry concealed weapons on campus. Some lawmakers in at least five other states are looking into similar legislation in the wake of last week's deadly elementary school shooting in Newton, Conn. Anti-gun groups oppose the measure.
