[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rising 6th grade DD is desperate to join the school target shooting team. I'm not sure what to think...it seems a bit weird, culturally. I am open to others' thoughts, though![/quote] Knowledge is power. Swim lessons are good, because water can kill you or save you. Gun lessons are good because they teach you how NOT to find a gun and accidentally shoot your friend because you didn’t know how it works. People don’t have to own a gun, or even ever shoot a gun, but please learn about safety. Learning about fire is also good because fire can kill you or save you. Making your own child ignorant is shortsighted.[/quote] Or, learning about guns makes the kid want to front when you find a friend’s parent’s gun. So the kid handles it to show off bc she “knows all about guns.”[/quote]
