Despite not owning any, I'm a gun lover for sure. But from when I was a Boy Scout I was taught a deep respect for them. SexyTabby's got the right idea. You don't point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill. You always treat a gun as if it was loaded because even some very experienced people have killed themselves with guns by accident.

I would say if you want your gun fix then go find yourself a good quality metal body Airsoft gun. You can find ones that look exactly like the real thing (except for having an orange tip) but are nowhere near as dangerous. Removing the power supply or air canister of an airsoft gun completely disables it, unlike removing the magazine from a real gun. less
