While not aimed at young children, it would appear that Utah is looking at offering gun safety classes for highschool kids.

Not that many of them would handle it well in reality, but it is their job to educate young folks in good citizenship.

I agree that firearm safety should be taught in schools. Bring Eddie the Eagle back to schools!

I've seen folks go to take their LTC class with a handgun they bought less than 24 hours before the class, and have never fired it. Some have taken the class and have never fired ANY gun.

As stated by many on this forum before, there are already ways you can carry without a license today in Texas. The Motorist Protection Act allows you to carry in your vehicle without a license (as long as the handgun is not in plain view), as well as to/from your vehicle from your home.

Additionally, there is unlicensed carry in 16 states (will be 17 when Utah's law goes into effect) with no issues that I am aware of.

I don't think anyone here will dispute that training is important. However, I do not believe that training should be a government mandated requirement in order to exercise a constitutional right. Just my 2 cents.
