Israeli School Girls with Carbines

Just like Sex Ed in schools, I think proper training on use of firearms, their history, what they can do, etc would help reduce crime.
But I feel that the same reasons that people object to Sex Ed would be why they feel firearms safety / training would be bad.

To keep on track, here are a few more civilians with M1 Carbines

Not carbines but shows how the women trained.

Notice that mags are not inserted into weapons, that is one rule they have and only done so when the need arises.   Interesting also that they are using 15 round mags and not 30.

I believe the reason they use 15 rnd mags is they conveniently fit into mag pouches on the stocks! The 30 rnd mag won't fit, w/o falling out and there was never a pouch made to put on the stock.

I'll bet these kids are much safer than our kids in a "no gun zone"

Sling appears to be an IDF heavy weapons sling. Para-cord "type" tied to the forward sling swivel or in this pic, around the entire fwd stock/hand guard area. rear tied also with "para" through sling oiler slot. A very versatile sling, 2" in width.
