Amid all the hysteria over gun control in the wake of yet another school shooting, a school in New Mexico is not likely to be the next target.

Some in law enforcement support the idea of arming select teachers as a safety precaution.
Polk County, Fla. Sheriff Grady Judd said allowing some hand-picked teachers to carry firearms in the classroom would be a “game changer,” Fox News reported.
The sheriff’s initiative would screen teachers and include skill and psychological requirements.
