Oh yeah, pOO! Got into an argument earlier, want to hear from someone who's more of a gun enthusiast than I am. When handling bb/pellet guns, you should treat them with the respect you treat any gun, IE proper trigger discipline, control where the barrel is, etc., yay/nay? I vote yay.

Hell, I vote yay even when dealing with prop guns, just so you don't get into bad habits.

Yay. Even though it's a "non-lethal" replica of a toy, you can still shoot somebody's eye out or inflict serious injury. Also, getting shot directly by a bb gun still hurts, especially in the neck/face area. I know because I was on the receiving end of a couple.

You should treat all weapons, fake or real, with the respect you would give to any real weapon.

Yeah, that's what I thought. People were calling me crazy for pointing out shite trigger discipline on a cosplayer that seemed to be carrying around a bb/pellet rifle, telling me "it's probably not loaded" and other things that would have made my gun safety instructor cry.

If it's non-functional cosplay gun then he can do whatever he wants.

The thing is people have been wrong about their gun being non-functional or not loaded before. It's not worth the risk. It also strikes me as a bad idea to get into the habit of shitty trigger discipline, regardless of whether the gun is a replica or not. If you ever end up handling a real gun, that's not a habit you want to be in.

Oh, and this wasn't a cosplay at a convention, they were showing it off out in the woods, so there wouldn't necessarily have been a check to ensure it was non-functional.

I cannot disagree with this enough. Even nerf dart guns can injure someone. If anyone wants to handle a weapon, real or not, they need to pick up good habits like not having your finger on the trigger unless you intend to fire within the next few seconds.

Goodness no! I wasn't talking about nerf guns; I was talking about those little glorified speakers in the shape of laser guns we bought when were kids, pretending to boba fett (with no actual mechanisms or anything, just SFX etc etc). I wouldn't even think about playing with Nerf guns as if they were toys. Remember these back in the day?

So she's stupid?

Shit. I forgot that's what that means. Nevermind! Crisis averted! I was so blinded by her beauty I didn't even stop to think if she was smart or not and little ol' Deca cares more about intelligence in a relationship than he does looks.

Probably yay. You don't toss paring knives at people just because they're not as dangerous as a combat knife.

You absolutely do!!!
People who think that bb/pellet guns shouldn't be treated like any other gun should never be allowed to handle a gun until they learn and practice proper safety and handling of a gun.

That is something everyone should do.

Those people should be shot then told "sorry I thought it wasn't loaded"

Go shoot some beer cans to calm down!

[pOO flinger]

Thinking about getting a Glock 27 for concealed carry and making my 1911 my "night stand" gun.

Go shoot some beer cans to calm down!

Hai Joy!

I'm in the mood to shoot some tannerite filled targets.

Being stupid isn't hard. You usually don't know you're stupid so it only affects those around you.

Well, I don't know if I'm stupid or not, but if I manage to get married, I want to marry someone who is smart.
