My nephew (10) has a toy gun that he plays with sometimes when we visit.
His lack of muzzle control irritates me at the just below conscious level and I find myself getting mad when he points it at people.
At Thanksgiving he was playing with the gun and pointed it at his sister's head and then turned around and stuck the muzzle against me. I pushed the muzzle away from me and told him that he'd never be able to have a BB gun until he learned not to point guns at people (or something to that effect).
This has kind of eaten at me a bit and I wonder if I should have just written it off as "kid stuff" and kept my mouth shut. I had an ND a few weeks ago and maybe I'm oversensitive about safety at the moment.
What do you guys think?
