Several states now require public schools to teach gun safety

I actually think this is a really great idea. The children that don't know gun safety are the most likely to die from Guns that adults don't properly lock down.

The problem is that some adults are paranoid and leave their guns loaded and this is always an accident waiting to happen when children who know nothing about guns are nearby.
