After all, boys will be boys....especially with their toys.
maybe boys need to learn to be more discriminate with where they point their toys, eh?

You can learn much when at the letter box 🙂 The distance is a short 1 k from my home to the school so yes the boy was close to school. The department rang me this afternoon for further details as the matter has been taken as serious, regardless of the gun being real or a toy. No school wishes to have students behaving in such a manner while in school uniform. Much the same as an employee in work uniform who could be sacked for unsavoury behaviour.
The boy needs to understand the implications of such actions for his own safety.
I imagined the school would take it seriously.
The Police has crime prevention workshop program for schools. It covers a range of topics including weapons and prohibited articles. Perhaps this will prompt the school to organise something like that. Since there are millions of toy guns everywhere, I think parents and students should be educated about potential ramifications.
Like nerf wars, lazar tag, imaginative play and fun....goodness....
huh? i didn't say that. obviously the ramifications would be in relation to toy guns that come under prohibited weapons. I'm sorry. I thought it was obvious. 
I remember asking hubby when boys learn to control that....he said never.......sad sad day.
