Pretty good video, showing armed faculty and staff in a good light. The video shows comments from students, administrators, and teachers. The administrator explains some of the rationale behind the decision to go armed, what he went through to do so, and talks about being contacted by other school districts, especially after school shootings.

This is the sort of publicity I think we need. It could be done a little better, sure, but all in all, it is a very positive video.

Wilbarger Co. TX is about as common sense oriented, and rural as anyone could be.
Conversely, a little advertising for (unknown to the public) teachers CHiLling is a good thing.

I played the video without the sound. Pictures of street signs, a road, a couple of buildings, a horse, some people talking....

I expected to see teachers carrying firearms. Not trying to be hyper critical, just don't see why a video was needed to report this information. To be fair, I just watched it, didn't listen to it - so perhaps the interviews were enlightening.

The explanation for that, and a whole lot more, is what you missed by not listening. View it again when you can.

You're right. We see street signs, roads, buildings, horses (I do anyway), and people talking all the time. It's what they said that is the story.

Nice video.
