Excellent! My kid really misses living in the country. She was born and lived out in the boonies till she was 16. (she's 17 now) Went to a little 2A school. It was not unheard of still for a guy to come to school with a gun in his gunrack to go hunting after school. Of course there were 'discussions' occasionally about this but no one really saw the harm. We were 8 1/2 miles out of town so target practice is just one of those things you do for entertainment. So, you can take care of the occastional reptile or whatever.

First thing when we moved to WF she was terrified when she saw this big 5A school. (got over that after 2 days) But, it was very much a culture change for her. Kids here are much more PC. She would talk about hunting - classmates would jump all over her for 1) gun issues 2) animal rights issues. But! They didn't know WHO they had to contend with. She was in journalism at school and informed and articulate enough to start a one person campaign to educate her peers. Of course in a big place like this she can't know and talk to everyone like at home - but, she's done a fair job of getting our message out. She's made several converts from the dark side on a lot of issues. It pays for us to raise 'em this way. I've seen it in my oldest daughter and I'm seeing it in my baby.
