Hi there
We must make comparasion, between marksmanship and ideological lessons wich i take. I dont now is marks. good idea, when we have a lot s of violence in today schools.
My lessons was to confused i was 15, or 16 i can t remember, and suddenly we learn abot landmines, we have it, not real ones in classrom. So we learned, who are ours enemyes, i think even how to plant IED, crazy.
-Don t take your gunns to town-, like Cash song.
Stay well!
I think teaching people firearms safety, awareness and usage in schools under controlled conditions is a great idea, New Zealand being a predominantly rural nation it is not uncommon to have kids (5 years plus) out shooting rabbits and opossums with their parents and I think this takes a lot of the mystique out of guns, by the time they reach their teenage years they see firearms as nothing more than tools like a car, hammer or rugby ball.
New Zealand is fortunate, we don't have land mines or enemies (Other than Australians and South Africans on the sports field) and we generally don't go looking to make them.
