Should Kids Play With Toy Guns?

 

Of course.  All I wanted for Christmas every year was another pair of Roy Rogers six shooters.:)

While working on a recent revolver-themed issue of Gun Digest the Magazine, I was reminded of just days earlier when my 6-year-old son was playing with a western-style six-shooter cap gun I had bought him during a recent trip to South Dakota. 

It was similar to the any dozen of toy guns my friends and I played with when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. My son had a new friend from school coming over that day, and he commented that he wanted to show him his guns.

“That’ll be fun,” I said, but then a thought hit me.
