In a libs eye anyway. I am taking about a dozen firearms to my daughters high school to make a presentation on different firearms action types and their safe operation. It is part of the Oklahoma Hunters Safety course. Should be fun.
I was allowed to speak to two separate classes. It was very well received and I even had students from other classes get permission to attend. I even had an entire English Lit class brought in by their teacher. Only had a couple who did not seem interested but had very good class participation and discussion. The M1 Garand and Remington LTR seem to spark the most interest.
And for those who seem to be concerned about Oklahoma State Law and guns on school property here is the section of statute that covers it:
C. Firearms and weapons are allowed on school property and deemed not in violation of subsection A of this section as follows:
1. A gun or knife designed for hunting or fishing purposes kept in a privately owned vehicle and properly displayed or stored as required by law, or a handgun carried in a vehicle pursuant to a valid handgun license authorized by the Oklahoma Self-Defense Act, provided such vehicle containing said gun or knife is driven onto school property only to transport a student to and from school and such vehicle does not remain unattended on school property;
2. A gun or knife used for the purposes of participating in the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation certified hunter training education course or any other hunting, fishing, safety or firearms training courses, or a recognized firearms sports event, team shooting program or competition, or living history reenactment, provided the course or event is approved by the principal or chief administrator of the school where the course or event is offered, and provided the weapon is properly displayed or stored as required by law pending participation in the course, event, program or competition; and
3. Weapons in the possession of any peace officer or other person authorized by law to possess a weapon in the performance of their duties and responsibilities.
