An Idaho legislator wants the state's public high schools to offer gun safety courses as electives, KBOI reported.
Rep. Ronald Nate of Rexburg said the idea behind House Bill 240 is to teach students about "responsible gun ownership" and how to react when seeing a weapon.
The bill proposed by Nate, who is a professor of economics at BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, is still in its early stages and has not had a hearing yet. According to the bill, the course would be developed by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, a law enforcement agency, or a firearms association.
