PUBLIC COMMENT

Ann Haggett

To the council: Regarding item 12.7 a.a. on Firearm Safety, I concur with the recommended motion NOT to approve this bill. As an elder in the community with thirty years teaching experience in Montana school's first grades, I find this bill inappropriate for the following reasons. a) Curriculum should be developed within the public school curriculum department and must be age appropriate. This bill fails that test. b) I question whether the organization (Montana Shooting Sports Assoc.), that is contributing to this bill, is an educational organization. It has functioned as a lobbyist group for bills in the Montana Legislature. Currently it supports the bill allowing concealed carry on university campuses. Council needs to research past lobby activities and financial contributions of the group before accepting it into public school class offerings. Thank you.
