Similar thing -- we didn't have guns in the house, but once at a friends house we went to his parent's room and he showed me a revolver they had. He may have had *some* training or we both just had common sense because we didn't fool with it too much. We played with toy guns all the time but we were old enough to know it was a "real gun" and we just looked at it for a minute or so. It was his mother's gun, small, probably a .22 but a .22 can easily ruin your day. Of course it was totally unsecured, just sitting in a drawer, no trigger lock or anything. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
