My dad told me stories of when he was in high school (1956-1960) they had REQUIRED gun safety courses, and that there was a shooting range in the school. From there he became an NRA instructor at a local YMCA that also had it's own shooting range. I think one of the biggest problems today is that kids just don't respect firearms. Personally I was raised with them, I had my first bb gun at the age of 10. When I turned 12 I recieved my grandfathers Gamo .22 air rifle. Then at 14 I recieved my first firearm a ruger single six .22. Now I'm 19, and have aquired quite a collection for myself. I have the up most respect for them, and understand their power. Also thanks for the support Torog! I'm glad to say that my university has it's own ROTC program and a shooting range on campus.
