West Virginia sees the project as a form of economic stimulus, but teaching kids how to handle guns seems smart for a myriad of reasons.
West Virginia is considering a bill to teach schoolchildren how to handle a gun and hunt safely its proponent hopes will increase state revenues from hunting licenses, a state lawmaker said Thursday."We will teach a hunting safety course during their physical education class," state senator and bill sponsor Billy Wayne Bailey told AFP. The courses would be imparted in secondary schools, from the eighth to 10th grade (13-16 years of age).
We're teaching kids this age how to use condoms and get abortions, so why not about how to handle a gun?
you mean, like a useful life skill? Say it ain't so!
I love this idea. I'd like to see them do this in CA. Might actually cut down on gun violence if kids see what guns do and learn how to handle them...
