We should consider learning from the Americans who know the most about weapons–the U.S. Armed Forces; they take weapons safety seriously: private weapons must be stored in the secured armory on the base–no private weapons are allowed in houses on base.  People with weapons have to have annual safety and marksmanship training and a current license.  If they live off base, they’re expected to own a weapon safe to keep them. I also agree with my barber, who is a marksmanship instructor: we need

maintain and, when possible, strengthen the excellence of our programs. I have referred to this effort as making “selective quality strikes” and I believe they are especially important in these difficult times – we cannot stand still. So, for example, major progress was made last year in responding to the NWCCU accreditation recommendations on assessment of student learning, faculty review policies, and institutional research.

Right now, this internship is showing me how our legislature works, and there is value to that, even though it’s also confirmed I do not want to work in the political world. But, I am making meaningful connections where I can, I am learning things where I can, and I think that is all I can ask for. What skills are you gaining from this experience?
