scenario...your views?

[twinkles**stars]

How would you react to this scenario?

Driving along a road you see a young boy in school uniform on his way to school waving a gun and knife at passing traffic.

Would you ignore him or take steps to ensure the gun and knife are 'toys' and not the real deal?

It's a good thing you don't know where to find them then, or I'd have a paper target on my back.

I don't think anyone said you can't buy toy guns.. but we/they did ask what shops sold them and that they haven't noticed them in a lot of stores themselves.

siggie seems convinced that the types of toy guns we are discussing ie ones that were manufactured as toys but can be reasonably mistaken  for operable firearms are everywhere,  are as easily available as Nerf toys.   They are not.

seriously....some here are sharp as a bowling ball. Yes you can buy very unrealistic looking toy guns sheesh but as for guns that look to be the real deal. Not for ages in SA

Im sure the situation would have been different if the kid was waving a nerf gun.. **bleep**

Yes.

Hard to believe some people believe you can't buy toy guns for kids anymore, realistic or not.

Yeah but it was twinkles that saw the original "left over Halloween gun" ....my guess is that with her poor eye sight and the fact that she was probably driving over 30 k,s (and easily distracted from paying attention to the road at peak hrs) .....that the kid could've had a nerd gun and shed still freak out and try to close a school down 😄

I won't be firing any thing at  targets or using a nerd gun.. I am a pacifist.

Twinkle did what she thought was the right thing in the circumstances.

Yes....I'll always be grateful to being alerted to the breast eating bacteria, thanks to buying and wearing unwashed bras!

That twinks needs a cape!
