Frankly, there is a decent chance that in a group 17 random kids there are 1 or 2 who shouldn’t have heavy gun exposure and military level training, for a whole host of possible reasons.

Bad idea.

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

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.

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

Good luck with that.

I wouldn't do that with live fire.

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

Yeah that makes sense as that’s the only concern I have with what you posted

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