I'm really undecided about how I feel about this topic. Dh has for his entire adult life worked with firearms in different capacities. My father is also a primary producer who has always had a firearm in arms reach whilst on the property. Because I was going to be around them was taught to use a firearm as a youngster and Dad taught us to respect them. Dh has bought ds play guns but as yet I've not let him play with them. In some ways it doesn't seem right to let ds play with them but in other ways DS will be around real weapons as he grows. I don't really see the difference between water guns, making a gun with hands or toy guns. I think if you teach your children need to learn to respect weapons and learn safety early on.

I guess I remain undecided.
