Rapid City Police Chief Steve Allender says he will be in Pierre to add his input when the bill is introduced.  Allender says increasing school security is not simply a matter of giving guns to teachers.  Allender says, "But the more guns you have in a location or a business such as ours, the more potential for those guns to be lost or stolen or accidentally discharged or improperly displayed. There's a number of responsibilities that go along with firearm ownership."   Students at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut returned to school today after being away from classes since the shooting on December 14th.   Students in Rapid City elementary schools returned to classes today as well after Christmas vacation.
