I’d imagine they still do. No issues, no drama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

124gr9mm 859 Posted February 25, 2020 I dislike when parents use their kids as props to further political agendas, regardless which side of the aisle they fall on. Reminds me of the Greta climate girl. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My grandma taught me to shoot when I was 6 - 7 I had a similar conversation with my daughter about Kaitlin Bennett. She had the opinion that it was "too over the top" for her to post a picture of her legally and openly carry her rifle at Kent State, but she couldn't articulate why with any objective reasons. We've tried our best but I'm afraid the NJ public school system left her a bit brainwashed . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
father-of-three 243 Posted February 25, 2020 Some states, including Kentucky I think, allow firearms to be carried in a state capitol building. Having read the actual article, it was written in a confusing manner. Not having researched this, it appears that Idaho has constitutional carry for Idaho residents only and they are considering adding nonresidents. The irony is that I think Idaho accepts all permits anyway so it is kind of a non-issue in the context of the article. If a non resident goes to idaho they are likely going there with the intention of carrying and will likely prepare accordingly. It was nice being able to carry in Maine last year as one of those nonresidents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have drifted from bad hombres to bad tools make bad hombres... it’s rather illogical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are no squirrels or rabbits in the courtroom. i have no problem with responsible kids (like mine) handling or using guns. Some of mine even compete with them. Doesn't change my opinion of the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even in urban areas kids were allowed/expected to bring their .22 rifles to and from school if they were on the rifle team. Now districts barely acknowledge the fact that they used to have shooting ranges in the basement of the school buildings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
