Actual gun safety

State House Votes to Put Hunter Safety Courses in Schools.

The Pennsylvania House just voted 180 to 22 in favor of legislation that would allow schools to offer voluntary Hunter-Trapper Education classes for students in grades 6 through 12. If approved by the Senate and signed into law, students who complete the course would satisfy Pennsylvania’s hunter education requirement needed to buy their first hunting license.

Pennsylvania wouldn’t be breaking new ground. States including Georgia, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Illinois, Tennessee, and New Mexico already have similar school-based hunter education programs. The Keystone State also already has one of the nation’s largest National Archery in the Schools Program NASP programs, with more than 300 participating schools and over 60 competitive teams, proving that outdoor education already has a successful place in Pennsylvania classrooms.

Supporters say this is about giving interested students access to fi***rm safety, hunting ethics, wildlife conservation, and responsible outdoor education at a time when fewer kids are introduced to hunting by family members. The classes would be completely voluntary, and no fi***rms or am******on would be brought into schools during instruction.

Would you support your state offering hunter education in public schools?

An important win.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that private employers cannot terminate at-will employees for exercising their right to self-defense against imminent bodily harm. This decision, arising from a convenience store incident, establishes that corporate policies cannot override an individual’s fundamental legal privilege to protect their own life while working.

Well well well.... Statewide aurora chances return as early as tomorrow (Thursday) night as multiple solar storms are forecast to impact earth. A G3 watch is in effect which if realized, would bring the northern lights as far south as central Ohio and Indiana.

Remember, aurora does not follow a time table and is best predicted in real time. If you are new here, we have experienced staff and a network of 100+ cameras we can track viewing in real time. Stay tuned to our page for updates, and let's cross our fingers for clear skies!
