The idea is that if kids are educated about the use of guns they will be less likely to accidently shoot themselves...
I just killed an eight point buck this morning..... I am not kidding.... with a bow and arrow...

I'd bet alot of parents would pitch a fit, if you want to take it that's one thing. But making a hunting class mandatory I agree is stupid. Because some folks feel as strongly about not having a gun, as others do about owning one.<image.tiff>
And your right, it would be very offensive to someone who was a vegitarian. Myself, I couldn't do without eating meat. lol Wouldn't want to, but not something you should shove down someone's throat who doesn't want to eat it either.
Some things should be mandatory, hunting isn't one of them. I can see it being a optional class, but I agree doesn't make sense making it mandatory.

Ok, sex education classes in school are all voluntary, correct? So why in my kids school is the hunter education class mandatory? Now I have no problem with my kids taking the class, especially since my son is going hunting this year with his grandad, but what about kids of people that are anti gun and PETA lovers? They teach you the correct way to handle guns and clean guns, but they also teach you how to gut and clean a deer after it's been killed. Now some of these kids will never see a gun and probably never even consider killing a deer, so why should they be made to take this class. At least on the sex education it is something e'one will eventually do, even if it is after they are married. But not e'one will go out and go hunting.
