    I am actually somewhat with you on that.
    But you don’t need to do active shooting (or even have access to a real gun) to drill that.

      I’m of the opinion that teaching stuff has to be hands-on, especially with the bad attention span of children nowadays. I don’t learn very much from theory, and I think a lot of neurodivergent kids don’t do it, either.

      I’m just saying that, in a country where there’s more guns than people, keeping children ignorant of the realities of handling a gun safely is a liability.
