Parents are not happy about the Defence Basics subjectThe planned air rifle shooting as part of the school Defence Basics subject divides parents: while some view it positively for sports and discipline, others are concerned about firearm use in class. Defence Basics is a compulsory subject for 11th-grade students in secondary school, consisting of theoretical and practical parts. Importantly, the air rifles used have a muzzle energy not exceeding 7.5 joules, making them unsuitable for causing lethal harm. The paper above, which a parent received, asks for the parent’s permission to let their child participate in the new Defence Basics class. Many parents voiced concerns about the dangers of firearm use, even with air rifles under supervision.
