Remember a few things. First, this is Texas. Most of the state (minus a few blue areas) are very used to guns, a majority of people have them, and nobody bats an eye if they see someone in a store with a scary fun strapped to their waist. Personally I won't open-carry. My goal is to protect my wife and family - not be the first target, but to each his own.
When I was first starting to conceal carry I went to a local gun shop in Central Texas (actually a woman-owned gun shop) to get help on holsters. A constable was hanging out there just chatting and he went through a whole bunch of options with me until I found the best method that worked for me. That was pretty cool of him.
Second - I believe it is likely that there are more teachers in TX that are patriots versus blue-haired wokesters. Especially in the rural areas and regions like East Texas. When I moved to ETX from CenTex I noticed a big difference. We don't have the California/Austin influence out here.
And finally it will likely be mostly men that will choose this option however there will be women with that mama-bear instinct that will take part as well. I'd guess 80/20 men but it could be 70/30 as well. For those worried about the women - they won't enroll in the program if they know they won't be able to make the decision. I have no doubt any woman that does carry will do her job if necessary without hesitation. She will protect her kids.
If you're worried about the freaks arming up - remember they will have to pass all the background investigations, training programs, and will still have to be approved by the administration. Texans are serious about their guns and firearm safety. In the areas I mentioned above this won't be a problem. If you don't live in Texas I can understand why you won't get this though.
