GA Russell Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I moved to downtown Raleigh almost six years ago, but for the prior ten years I lived in the county to the east. Our local high school was Smithfield-Selma. Bing has alerted me to the fact that their JROTC had built an indoor shooting range, and for some reason the wires have picked it up! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/04/20/north-carolina-high-school-reportedly-opens-indoor-shooting-range.htmlhttp://bearingarms.com/north-carolina-high-school-opens-indoor-gun-range/http://www.wral.com/johnston-high-school-opens-indoor-shooting-range/15651461/http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/31775423/nc-high-school-opens-indoor-shooting-rangehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/04/19/high-school-opens-indoor-shooting-range.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I went to 8th grade in a rural county in West Virginia, one of the required courses was a "hunters safety course" where they taught us to safely shoot bows and rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 My daughter was in JROTC, mostly loved it, and shot firearms as a part of it. She loved that too, it reminded her of video games. She's now in California waiting to vote for Bernie, and hasn't handled a gun since. But she still talks about how much fun she had. Not sure if an indoor shooting range is the best use of taxpayer(?) money, but JROTC gotta shoots them guns somewhere. 53 minutes ago, Shawn said: I went to 8th grade in a rural county in West Virginia, one of the required courses was a "hunters safety course" where they taught us to safely shoot bows and rifles. As you know, I've spent time in rural WV, and it seems like the two givens for kids up there are guns and fucking. Your school's hunter's ed course makes sense, the probable lack of a sex ed class, not so much. (who is that guy supposed to be anyway?) Learn safe shooting, no matter from whence or from whom the shooting issueth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
