A small group of open-carry gun advocacy and gun rights organizations held a rally Saturday in Santa Fe.
Those in attendance called on the school district to adopt policies that would allow teachers and staff to carry a weapon on school campuses.
The rally was presented by This is Texas Freedom Force and the pro-gun advocacy group Open Carry Texas.
