A little education can be a good thing, and that's why I'm pleased to see high schools in the Roanoke, Virginia, area are
heading to the range to educate kids first-hand on firearm safety and the shooting sports.
The teacher at Hidden Valley High School who takes her kids to the range says it's their favorite activity. And she's been doing this for years. In fact, her own mother started taking students to the range years ago.
The gun banners like to say that kids shouldn't be "exposed" to firearms. But we don't get to choose what our children are exposed to. We can't keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. When you keep that in mind, education is always going to be better than ignorance, and the thousands of students who take part in this program are the literal living proof of that.
