You can never have enough firearms safety training.
That being said, our high school had it as hunting/fishing/camping safety.
As far as funds, we only had pellet guns, but a one time expense for a non-firing handgun, rifle and shotgun (all for disassembly/assembly/cleaning lessons) would not be expensive.
I'm not sure of the expense for an instructor's certificate, but I'd wager it isn't much and the business who does certification may even allow teachers to be certified, free of charge.
The NRA is against mandatory training, in order to obtain a firearm.
I'm all for it, but who am I ?
However, I'm sure the NRA would be more than willing to send a representative to indoctrin..... errr.... teach a class on safety.
