Pass the ammo at a church gun class

I know the rules against a religious discussion and assure y'all that's not what this is. I thought others might find it as interesting as I do that folks are realizing anything can happen at any time and educating themselves in this way: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/ ... CTION=HOME
Intro:
"The issue this week at a Chattanooga church isn't just sanctification, but safety - gun safety. Pastor Fred Smith at the East Chattanooga Church of God says about 40 people have been taking a safety course on firearms. "We're not a pistol-packing church, by any means," he said, "but many outdoorsmen have an interest, and we want to get them trained properly."
Also of note from the new story:
"Instructor Kristi Carter Manning has taught gun safety classes for seven years and has done them for other churches. Requests for the classes have increased dramatically this year, she said.
"Since the holidays last year, classes have quadrupled," said Manning.
She said the slowing economy has raised some people's fears.
"Where people felt safe before, they're not feeling safe anymore," she said."
