On the kids/toy gun issue, my policy was something like this. First, there's no reason not to obey the finger/trigger rule even with the toys. However, they could be pointed at things they were not willing to destroy (we were clear on the difference between guns and toy guns). Also, they were never to point the gun at another human unless that person was playing their game with them (e.g., no pointing at passing cars, a disinterested sister, etc.). It worked well for us. YMMV.

I've got more stories, but I'll have to save those for another day....

Okay, just one. The little girl, now just 8, never really took to the 9mm pistol or any of the .22 rifles we had available. Instead, she liked the P22 sized airsoft gun. Well, I finally got a real P22 .22lr pistol and now she's always begging me to go to the range.
