I see no reason gun safety classes can't be required before purchasing guns of any style or caliber.  ^I'm hoping that video is fake because why the hell would he upload it?

My guess is he was live streaming and someone caught it on recording.

Missouri is trying supply-side economics but for guns. And it's working just as well.

Two Ohio mothers separately raised concerns about something their kids were asked to do by a youth football league: sell tickets to raffle off an AM15 rifle.

 

Sari Brittain says her 4-year-old daughter, a new New Richmond Junior Lions Football league cheerleader, was asked to participate in the team's fundraising event by selling 10 raffle tickets.

Yesterday, ammunition was found on a student at Monroe Middle School (OPS). Thankfully, no gun. Still quite unnerving for a husband of staff.

I'm fully on board with the level of concern over the recent situation.

However, during hunting season around here, I bet there are multiple guys who forget and end up in school with a few shells still in their coat pocket.

THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN OTHER CIVILIZED COUNTRIES

I taught out at a "country" school...kid had their rifles (shotguns) in their pick ups all the time.  Lots of them even would talk about how they stopped on the way to school and shot at things they say moving.

It's an example of how rules might be appropriate for one school but not the other.  

 

A kid with ammo in his pocket in Thedford schools is no big deal.

A kid with ammo in his pocket in Lincoln East....might be a  big deal.

Customer at Lincoln convenience store who shot would-be thief is arrested

 

Quote

The clerk had seen Tilian trying to steal two bottles of liquor, then tried to physically restrain him and prevent him from leaving the store, Lincoln police said.

Jones saw what happened, pulled out a handgun and put herself between Tilian and the exit, police said.

Jones has a permit to carry a concealed weapon, police said.

Tilian broke free from the clerk and ran past Jones, exiting the store. Jones shot Tilian as he left the store, hitting him in the back of the arm and missing the store clerk, who also had exited the store, police said.

 

When I first opened this story, I assumed the shooter was somehow directly involved in some kind of physical altercation when the gun went off, or maybe even shot the perpetrator because they were attacking someone. But, to straight up shoot at their back while they run away? Yikes.
