A Houston radio station is following the Cleveland school shooting with a poll question: "Should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school?" Go vote at http://www.ktrh.com . It'll be up today (Thursday) only. Be sure to use the "sound off" feature to post your reasoned arguments here. But remember, you're talking to the general public, not your gun forum buddies.

I just voted, and it was very tight. 51% for and 48 % against.
My mother is a teacher and I think that she should be able to carry if she wants to.

up to 56% to 43% now

Voted, but I always worry how the media will spin the numbers at the end..........

Interesting.

I went there responded, and then I tried to follow the advice on the page, to refresh if I wanted to see the poll results updated. Being a little on the geeky side I was curious as to how long the results took to change since there is no count, just the percentage. I thought I might be able to estimate the count and frequency by observing the rate of change.

when I hit refresh it took me back as if I had not voted, so I tried a slightly different approach, I tracked how much the percentage changed for each time I voted.

The rate of change varied greatly, from less than 1/10 of 1% to over a quarter of a percent.

My conclusion, based on this is that a minimum of 400 had voted at the time that I was conducting my study. This is assuming that I was the only one who was voting at the particular instant of observation.

I suggest that the variation in percentages per vote cast is due to others conducting similar studies.

I recommend that all here try this study for themselves to confirm my results.

I have just gone back and confirmed my suspicions, even as I voted positive, the result percentage changed in the negative, indicating to me that some weak-kneed commie pinko liberal is deliberately skewing the poll results by voting no over and over.

You can vote as many times as you like, just refresh and vote again. It would seem that the NO's have figured this out as well....

Well I give up...I voted at LEAST 50 times!!!!!
