It wasn’t your typical field trip. A group of students in Pueblo County was firing live ammo and learning about gun safety.
"I'm very excited, today we're going to come out here on the gun range and shoot a little bit. The past week we've learned about the revolutionary war," said Jonah Statezny, a Craver middle school student.
"My favorite part is shooting guns. When I was little we used to go to the shooting range," said another student, Danielle Cooper.
These students have been on field trips before. But not one quite like this.
Guns in school can be a touchy subject.
"Often firearms and schools don't mix. There's a big fear there. So we are pushing the safety aspect and hopefully ease some people’s fears," said Timothy Baird, with the Craver Middle School
