Posted: Updated:

Posted by: Mike Massey - email

Oklahoma is one of several states attempting to pass a law that would allow teachers to carry guns in school.

But, according to a new survey of 11,000 educators by the School Improvement Network, 92% say they feel safe in class and 72% don't want to carry guns.

This included 37% who said they had guns in their own homes.

Another 88% say they would feel better with an armed police officer on campus.
