Guess what our schools are teaching our kids about guns???? A friend of my wife brought her daughter (she's 11) with her on a visit to our house recently. I was in the "gun room" loading rounds and my daughter brought her friend in with her to ask me a question. The 11 yr old girl asked me "Why do you like guns if they kill people?" I ass-u-med that line of thinking most likely came from her mother so I go and ask. Nope. Momma has nothing against guns and has tried to encourage her daughter to shoot with her grandpa. Turns out since "Sandy Hook" the kid's school has been hammering kids with the whole Anti spill of lies. With her mother's permission the little girl got a crash course (and my daughter got a refresher) in gun/reloading safety and we went down the list of myths the school had told her and debunked them. She now understands the it's physically impossible for any inanimate object to kill anything, that there are proper and improper ways to handle firearms and their ammo and that it's perfectly legal for a CC permit holding LAC to carry in/on/around school grounds. I've managed to fix one kid (who's now looking forward to a range trip to put her new found safety skills to the test and cannot wait till school starts back in the fall to spread the gospel to the other kids). But how many kids will now be future Antis for no other reason than the fear instilled in them by their teachers when they were children? The most shocking part of the situation is that this is the same school I attended and even as recently as the late 90's it wasn't uncommon to see a lever action rifle or shotgun in the back window of my truck and many other students vehicles in the school parking lot waiting on class to get out and go hunting. The place has really changed in just the short 15 years since I was there.
