from a friend who is a lawyer in Utah:Subject: Teach the Children
Compatriots,
I was asked to teach a class on gun safety at my church. I did
so last night. They acknowledged being fed "anti-gun" crap in school
although from their description, it is not nearly so bad in Utah as in
other states.
Now they want me to take them shooting, which I will. Once they
have had a chance to picture themselves protecting themselves and their
families with a firearm, the way our Founding Fathers envisioned it, it
will be hard for their high school teachers and college professors to
twist their minds.
Plus, I'm convinced, after handling several accidental shooting
cases, that the best way to prevent accidental shootings of youth is
(yes education, but better yet) to SATISFY THEIR CURIOSITY about guns.
Let them KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE TO SNEAK A PEEK at a gun, but rather just
ask a trusted adult to take them shooting (and better yet, rabbit
hunting so they can see what a bullet really does as opposed to what
they see on TV/Movies).
So do what Pancho says: "Preserve our freedom into the next
generation; take a kid shooting!" (But don't forget to use the "Parent
Consent Form" Appendix A in my book).
