Maybe for you...a lot of youth are different these days. We had a shooting

activity with the YM in our ward. They weren't too interested. We covered firearms safety and had different stations setup where they could shoot shotguns, pistols, and rifles. They didn't seem to give a crap.

When I was young I would have considered it an awesome activity.

Sounds good, but unfortunately I could see some parents throwing a fit over it

Just teach them how to use a gun. You don’t need kids thinking they are more invincible because they had this training.

The last thing I would want to teach a bunch of teenage boys is how to clear a

I would only do that on a person by person basis as they are ready.

Sounds awesome and would probably be the highlight of their YM years.

Highlight. Boring teenagers these days. Gun larping becomes a highlight.

I feel sorry for you and yours.

Why because larping is not what I like to do? Give me sports, outdoors and girls. You can larp with guns all you want.

Have a meeting with the parents and if they are all on board, run with it . . .

If you do decide to do it, wait until next year, and even then check with the new youth program guidelines

They are all NRA certified. It's a legit operation. It's not meant to be risky

Pasadena

If it's NRA certified instructors running it, there shouldn't be a problem

Jericho

They are teenagers so that question is always a question

My sons did it here at a police gun range, loved it

Be prepared for objections from parents who aren't comfortable with guns.

Good idea. alert parents in advance and give them option to withdraw their kids
