Schools in Iowa and South Dakota will soon offer Hunter Education in school, teaching kids about firearm safety
BISMARCK, N.D. - Schools in Iowa and South Dakota will soon offer Hunter Education in school, teaching kids about firearm safety, Hazelton-Moffit-Braddock High school in North Dakota offered a similar course since 1979.
The training guns have been modified so they can't fire, and the ammunition contains no gunpowder. The actions and safeties all work, so kids can get used to safely handling firearms.
"Even if they never hunt, just so that they know if they ever come across a gun they know kind of about the gun and where the safeties are at and how they should handle it and what to look for whether it's loaded or unloaded," said instructor Burns Bailey.
