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

room with a gun.

Firearms safety and marksmanship are fine...things they cover in Boy Scouts.

Terrible idea.

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

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.

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

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