S.19.2-2: Amended Firearm Education Act (Passed)

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

4.1)... The Southern Region shall transfer 1,000 rifles, 800 shotguns, and 500 pistols for the program, provided from the Regional Budget Office.

I was intending to bring this up earlier but are these numbers too specific? I mean this is for a region wide scheme, surely simply funding for the program with a ratio of firearms would be sufficient. Delegate Matthew27, what do you see as the firearm per lesson ratio?

Maybe it should be amended to say as many as needed to provide firearm education.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Amended 4.1 to allow for more generalization  

                        Amended Firearm Education Act

1.5) The regional government shall dole out cash based on the needs of the local school board which shall determine the method best to teach gun education.
2.) It is the position of the Southern Region that local schools would be an ideal place to instruct children on firearm safety. Local school-boards are granted money by the regional government so they can teach firearm safety and allow training groups access to school facilities after hours or on weekends to teach the safe handling and use of firearms.
3.) It is the position of the Southern Region that during open hunting season, local school districts should not prohibit high school students who may lawfully carry a firearm and who hold a valid hunting permit from storing an unloaded hunting weapon in their vehicle, while on school property.
4.1) A regional funded program is set up to allow high schools to offer firearm marksmen classes as part of a required 1 credit part of the curriculum during Physical education or free periods.

4.2 Regional monetary support shall aid poorer schools allowing an efficient number of guns and support staff to fulfill the objectives of this bill. The purpose of this is richer schools that have larger budgets shall get less regional support, while poorer schools that need the extra support shall get more to cover cost.
