Obviously you're not a teacher; or are you? hahaha

At any rate, I totally agree with you. Is there something we can do to make this happen? Do you have any experience with NRA programs / working with CT schools? You & any other like-mindeds FReepmail me.

No. I'm not a teacher. I don't really know much about Ct.

Since it is my personal opinion those abattoirs of the soul known as Public Schools should be immediately abolished or converted back into the system known as the little Red Schoolhouse I'm not sure how working with various arms of the Octopus such as the PTA will help.

Certainly serious like minded parents who are tired of the status quo should descend en masse to various public hearings or meetings of the Board of Education and demand results.

On the other hand it should be possible for just about anyone to set up a storefront location and shoot single shot air rifles at 25 feet.

The Daisy Model 131 single shot pellet rifle for example, is an extraordinary value in precision and accuracy for the cost of about $100.00

This is NOT your Grandfather's BB gun!

It comes with fully adjustable windage and elevation iron sights and young eyes and reflexes should be able to easily fire groups of .25 inch at 25 feet.

All the basics-trigger control, breathing, front sight focus- can be taught with nothing more complicated than a pellet trap made from a cardboard box and an open area inside a strip mall storefront or even a good size garage or basement.

Depending on where you live any adult group should be able to organize this activity with little effort and expense.

And of course, other options in the air rifle world exist up to and including $2,000 Olympic grade varieties.

Certainly that would be a beginning in any urban area.

Best regards,
