Thank you. We don't get to hear about the Eddie Eagle program at school. Our school thinks we shouldn't hear about guns. So, I found out about the EE program because my mom got the video and the book to teach us.
To the Kidlet...
Schools used to have shooting teams.
Never used to hear about schools getting shot up either.
There are a lot of schools that way. Some are afraid of guns, others think the responsibility for teaching about them belongs with the parents. Still others have active firearms safety and marksmanship courses as part of what they teach.
We gave money to a high school here in Arizona to set up a 22 range next to their campus. The students use it, and they share it with the city's police and a sportsman's club. Everybody wins then.
