PARENTS: Own a firearm? Tell your kid's school.Oh, really?
I'm almost afraid to write about this. I don't want to give the libs in Cook County and Chicago any ideas. But I'll do it, anyway.
If you own a gun and have children enrolled in public schools, how would you like to be forced to disclose your gun ownership to the school(s)?
Are you kidding me?
Check out this article by Michael Schaus. Think your kid wouldn't be bullied by the anti-gun teaching and administrative staff?
A pre-filed bill has been placed on record in Missouri. Kind of gives new meaning to the "Show Me" State, doesn't it?
I remember praising Missouri (where I was born and raised) earlier this year, after calling the Missouri State Patrol to find out if my Pennsylvania concealed carry permit would be valid in Missouri. The trooper said something like, "Sure. Why not?"
Did a Cook County Democrat moved to Missouri? I hope that bill isn't contagious!
I have a better idea. Why don't we require every grade, middle and high school to provide mandatory classes in firearms safety and ownership. Let's put a shooting range in every school and teach kids about responsible firearms ownership, maintenance and use.
When they graduate with a B or better, let's cut them a break on the cost of a concealed-carry license. Consider the training requirement fulfilled and charge them only $50 for a five-year license.
Speaking of the cost of a five-year license, let's file a class-action lawsuit against the State of Illinois to reduce its prohibitive and punitive level of costs associated with applying for a concealed-carry license. An applicant for an Illinois resident license will fork over $300-500 for a five-year license. If I move 15 miles to Wisconsin, it'll cost me $43.

Once upon a time, many of our high school students, both out here in the sticks as well as in the city of Chicago, were members of either their school's Gun Club, or as fledgling ROTC members.
Whether getting to school on the CTA in Chicago, or as passengers on School District busses, they all used to openly carry their weapons (particularly rifles) to school in public, along with their lunch pails and cased violins for band practice.
What happened to bring us to the sorry state we live with now?
Let's start a school and bring back the rifle team and gun classes!
I'll drive the bus and we can have a gun rack in the front or back.
No machine guns in the violin cases, please.
