According to NBC Charlotte, lawmakers in North Carolina are considering Bill 612 concerning gun education. This bill would allow for a gun education elective in North Carolina high schools. The class would involve history, math, and science related to guns as well as gun safety. In addition, there would be no live ammunition. It appears that there are people on both sides of this topic, and it will be interesting to watch what happens with the bill.
When I was in school, we had gun education in 8th grade. We had gun safety training at school and actually went to a shooting range several times to use rifles and shotguns as part of our physical education class. I honestly cannot imagine this happening today.
What role do you think schools should play in gun education?
