Yowsa! Times have changed.
My Dad, a lifetime NRA member since the early ‘50s, started a shooting club in our HS with my shop teacher. It included many NRA training movies (pre-Super 8) and other programs. Nobody blinked when we carried our guns into the school. This was in Henrietta, NY, a suburb abutting the south side of Rochester.
Why shooting? Because the people are still awesome and organized kids sports has gone so far away from what I had as a kid.
Why pistol shooting? Because I got so sick of hauling around gear as a young rifle shooter.
Pistol isn't an NCAA sport, but my kid can go to school on my GI bill anyway.
