South Dakota Opens Door to Guns in Classrooms 
----------------------------------------------


 
South Dakota has become the first state to legally allow teachers to
carry firearms in class. On Friday, Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard
signed into a law a measure that allows individual school districts to
decide whether teachers can be armed. Georgia's state Senate, meanwhile,
is now taking up a similar bill that would strike down bans on guns in
bars, churches and colleges.
