    There used to be. But then racists and democrats got upset that black people were also learning about guns, so they cancelled all of the in-school teaching etc.

      How far back are you talking? Civil war era? I know guns weren’t taught when i was in school. I did have to go to a special safety course to get a hunting license though.

        Hard to say. I know (from my grandparents) they had them in the 1950’s in at least Texas, Indiana and Idaho schools. And I know from myself they didn’t have them in the 90’s. If I had to guess they disappeared in the late 1960’s. Though lots of schools can still choose to have them if they wanted. There isn’t any state or federal law that would prevent it.
