[quote=Anonymous]I have mixed feelings and don’t know what I’d do. On the one hand, I see nothing wrong with target shooting. I think having a trained professional teaching the kids how to correctly and responsibly handle guns would be a plus. On the other hand, teenagers can be bad at risk assessment, and group dynamics can cause sudden and severe drops in IQ. The idea of having a group of teenagers who consider themselves gun experts bonding over guns, scares me. Would they have guns at home, or access to guns at school? Would other kids know they have access to guns? If I knew the kids specifically, it might be different, depending on the kids. Presumably the school takes teen behavior into account, somehow, and compensates. My first instinct, based on limited details, is that I think I’d probably want to keep the gun experience separate from the teen social group. [/quote]
