San Antonio is not a small hill country town and Judson High School is huge, and my oldest son got his hunter safety card at Judson and my younger son will get his this year. They offer an elective class about game management and it includes hunter ed. I remember one of the quiz sheets my son brought home, it was name the parts of a pump shotgun and a bolt action rifle. My youngest joined ROTC but they no longer have air rifle, said the group got too large. Hopefully when the new high school opens they will bring it back. Until then, he still has three gun.Hunter education might be taught in small districts in the hill country, but in the large cities it is unheard of. Even if taught, you can't presume that everyone allowed to carry in Texas also attended a Texas high school where gun safety was taught. I believe that the second amendment should apply to everyone eligible, but owning a weapon and carrying it in public are different matters. Some people just need to stick with the gun range if you know what I mean. Carrying in public presumes a higher level of knowledge and responsibility that not all gun owners share equally. OCT may have its roots in a well meaning and directed effort, but it has like a magnet, pulled the fringe elements in allowing the rest of us to see what could happen. They have some scary folks there, and having some in their group carrying openly without any sort of licensing or standardized training simply scares the bejeebers out of me.
