Funny that you mention that. There is a school in PA that is doing just that. I think it is long overdue. However you'll never see these types of classes in places like NY, MA, CT, NJ.

Gun Safety Lessons For 6-Year-Olds In Pennsylvania School - Is It Safe or Risky? [POLL] : News : Parent Herald

Good article. I believe its in the right direction. Kids are curious. Guns are seen everywhere. If they have never been introduced they are going to be fascinated when for some reason they find one they should not have found. Boys and their toys, its just in our nature. If all you know is what you see on TV about guns you really don't have a grasp of the reality of a firearm. I think children now days are intelligent enough to understand if given the chance. Just like the schooling on what can happen when you drink and drive, you can teach what can happen when you don't respect a firearm.
