Have you ever fired a gun? Would you try it if given a chance?

Yes. I think firearms safety should be taught in school. Along with the opportunity to actually fire a gun if you do well in the safety course.
I was introduced to archery in early high school! Our gym teacher was an awesome lady (I think she taught youth archery) so she had the stuff on hand and set up a 30 foot range in an "alley" behind some collapsible bleachers in the gymnasium.
We shot every day for two weeks and it was amazing to see our skills grow before our eyes. The basic firearm safety rules applied. It didn't teach you how to unload and clear a gun of course but bows were a super chill way to learn a kind of marksmanship!
They already have active shooter drills, no?
