Real roots of crime

Hunter safety (regs , firearm safety etc etc) was an actual class at the school I went to . It counted as a credit toward graduation . The class was even taken on a "field trip" to the range to shoot and get more familiar with their firearms . The school itself is always ranked within the top 5-10 for the state for education and you'll see parent involvement constantly whether it's sports or academic . Now , we had practically no crime in my area . The majority of what the local PD does is write citations for traffic violations . Actual crime is so rare that it's a big deal when something actually does happen .
To me , the introduction of firearms safety etc , as well as the school developing their own curriculum and having a lot of parent involvement , is a good indication why crime wasn't a big issue in the town . I made it a point to move back there just so my daughter could get an education without the fear mongering done in the other schools over guns .


We actually talked about this in a club meeting recently , and consensus is that the club will again work with the school to hold those 'hunter safety" courses at the school during school hours .

Wow.

Assumes public access = public ownership.

Not.

It's posted on a forum on a server owned and managed by Oleg Volk.

Now, I notice that we haven't had a mod come by and invite us to take it over to APS, so I could well be off base.

However, in their shoes, I would have done just that.

Tell you what. I'll ask them. If I'm wrong, they'll straighten me out.
 
I think you may have misunderstood him, Arfin. The way I read it, he's simply saying that just because it's posted somewhere doesn't mean it's on-topic, just like anything posted on the internet (computer networks and all) isn't related to computers just because it's there.

But, as you said, mods have the final say.
 
As Sun Media reported in the aftermath of this tragedy, of the nation's 2 million licensed gun owners, between 1997 and 2005, 111 of them used their firearms to murder someone. That's 0.00555%.

Can someone give me the numbers here in the US?


Thanks
 
Not really general gun, more of an L&P topic, and L&P is temporarily closed.
