In this Tuesday, January 27, 2015 photo, a Pakistani teacher learns to load a pistol during a two-day weapons training session in Peshawar, Pakistan. When Pakistani Taliban militants stormed a Peshawar school on Dec. 16, 2014 and massacred 150 children and teachers, nobody could fight back. Some teachers want to change that. Government authorities in Pakistan's northwest frontier have given permission for teachers to carry concealed firearms in response to the attack. But other provinces have not allowed teachers to be armed, and most education organizations say that's the right call. (Photo by Mohammad Sajjad/AP Photo)
