1. Which begs the question

If guns are not allowed at schools, why is gun safety being taught there?

3. Many rural schools in Wisconsin...

Make special exceptions for Hunter education classes, where students use real firearms (With no live ammunition) to practice gun saftey techniques such as proper carrying techniques, proper Standing, sitting, and prone positions, cleaning, proper techniques for dealing with fences and proper techniques for haulung a firearm up into a tree stand, etc.

6. I should know, my father was an instructor for a very long time.

I went through Hunter Education in 8th Grade.

7. I hope you did not take my previous post the wrong way

Wisconsin is known for some interesting quirks....Tyme machines, bubblers, All you can eat fish fry on Fridays...etc...

I am offspring of a native cheesehead! :D

8. We take our hunting seriously over here.

Even though I can never trust myself with a firearm ever again after a nervous breakdown I had five years ago, I am an avid supporter of hunters.

We have buisnesses here that would probably have to shut down if it were'nt for the hunters coming up in the fall.

Besides, venison is yummy. :9

5. What was he doing swinging a gun around with live ammo in a group of...

...people? That bullet could have just as easily went in some kids head who was sitting there.

Keep it holstered dude. When guns are pulled out, bad things happen. Fucking grow up.

9. Or at least remove the ammo.

Geeze.

12. I remember back in high school

We had a girl who accidently shot herself in the left foot while deer hunting. Her thumb slipped while trying to ease the hammer down on her 30-30 lever action rifle at the end of the day. (On certain lever actions, it's the only way to uncock the rifle.)

When the guys at her father's deer camp found out, they all ceremoniously burned their left socks.

13. When I was driving pizza several years ago, I delivered to a customer who

was limping painfully as he answered the door. With no prompting on my part, he sheepishly explained that he was a cop who had accidentally shot himself in the groin while holstering his pistol. I wished him a speedy recovery as I retreated to my car, never ceasing to be amazed at the information complete strangers will volunteer!

True story.
