Like many moms with children in middle and high school, I can remember when recess and gym class were an everyday part of kids’ lives. I grew up with daily games of kickball, ultimate Frisbee or volleyball, laps around an asphalt track ringing a football field and gym clothes crammed into a locker...

Gun Safety
