You say Florida has no minimum age for going hunting (I assume with an adult) and that doesn’t surprise me.

My state had, until recently, a minimum age of twelve and the legislature made a move to eliminate it. Of course everyone tut-tutted (or worse) about how six year olds would be roaming the woods with rifles and most were skeptical of the change. I’ll even concede that I even found myself wondering if it was a good idea.

Then one of the sponsors pointed out that very few other states put a minimum age on hunting with an adult. That bit of information all of a sudden clarified matters. After all, those states aren’t littered with bodies of hunters mowed down by six year olds.

This is why it’s so important to get a foot in the door with an idea, good or bad. Once someone tries it, and all the naysayers are proven wrong (or sometimes right) others can follow along knowing what happened in other states or similar situations.

It’s also why we need to get concealed carry permitted in as many schools across the country as possible. Not only is that the best way to protect the kids, but it will rapidly spread once it’s proven to work, as it will. Get the “Gun Free Zone” signs off our schools and replace them with “Our Staff Carries” and shooters will either pick softer targets, or will be stopped much sooner if they do decide to shoot up a school.
