The hot new club sport for High Schools is Trap Shooting, there are 50 or so teams with 30 schools waiting to start. I ran into a middle-schooler last night out at the trap field, she was excited for next year when she'd be able to go to a school that has a team.<br /><br />What the anti's are afraid of is people encountering guns out in the real world and realizing that all the PSH is just that.crypticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18369069780571244928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-58422280968173730922013-09-05T13:12:35.407-04:002013-09-05T13:12:35.407-04:00"If it saves only one life......"

If they realy cared about "one life" they would be all about getting firearms training into every elementary school. I have doubts on their ideas saving any life ever; I have no doubts that Eddie Eagle saves lives, regularly.
