The point about the the NRA is a good one. Many people have been so conditioned by media that just the word "NRA" strikes fear. In actuality the NRA does offer a lot of educational opportunities and has for decades. We had firearms training in high school (optional class--just about everybody took it). Additionally the NRA offers the "Eddie Eagle" program, which is the only program I can think of that actually trains young children (preschool and elementary) just what do do if they find a gun. Far better that, than fear of the educator.

Good for you. But FL doe not deem it necessary in order to carry a weapon.
And of course you should leanr the locals laws wherever you live (or intend to carry)...
I'd love to see gun safety taught in schools. But it'll never happen in many states, due to their irrational fear of anything that goes "BANG"...
