U.S. News and World Repor .is asking for comments on the Harrold ISD decision to allow CHL holding teachers and staff to carry firearms on school grounds. Head on over and add your 2¢ to the conversation at Texas Teachers Packing Heat.

The 66-year-old doctor was held in custody for 12 days after a loaded .38-calibre revolver was found in his vehicle Aug. 6 at the Blue Water Bridge. He is one of about five Americans arrested under newly-revised legislation that imposes a three-year jail sentence for illegal gun possession.
