Sounds like a good plan to me.   BTW, I presume your husband has military or 
other firearms training in his background.    I think, though, that it should 
apply to anyone, not just kids whose parents happen to be hunters or whatnot. 
You never know what the cards hold for them.   My parents sure didn't.    (No 
one in my family was ever a hunter - I was a city kid from Boston.)

I tend to be extremely cautious of the government getting involved in 
anything having to do with education (too vulnerable to pressure from 
well-financed political extremist groups), so I'm in complete agreement on 
that one.
