    Schools started doing that back when I was still in school (early 00s.) It doesn’t seem to have slowed school gun violence down, though it probably helps kids prepare for the school-prison pipeline.

              I personally prefer target practice with them. I used to hunt my own meat though (still took it to a butcher for the tedious part of it.) If someone is threatening my life or my family’s lives, then I don’t intend on using it in a soft or touching manner. This has happened a few times, twice with friends, we pulled our guns out and the armed robbers ran off so no bullets had to get exchanged thankfully. But had we not had them, we would have just had to give up our wallets or die I guess shrug. One time one of them did chase one of our friends down and curb-stomped his teeth/face to death… we found him and rushed to the ER. I still have pictures of his bloody face and broken teeth from that wonderful event. He was the only one without a firearm at the time unfortunately.
