BB Gun Havoc

Have you ever wanted a BB gun? I definetly have. Actually I have been wanting one for maybe about 2-3 years already. Well, I think I have finally got approval from my dad that I could get one. I think the reason that parents don't let their kids have a BB gun, or any type of projectile shooting gun for that matter, is becauese they are scared of what will happen to you, or anybody or anything around, if you get a gun in your hands. Parents probably don't want to end up getting the family a reputation in the neighborhood for being the 'gun' family.

Really, the only place that you can get hurt with an airsoft gun is in the eye. So you can't really get hurt--unless the BB ends up being a ricochet (is that how you spell that?). Ouch! There goes baseball and all the other sports. So just make sure that you, and everybody around, wears proper eye protection.

Some people say that having a BB gun is a good thing. In some ways it is. It can be a good reason to get outside. While it is also a good training tool for gun saftey, it can also be a good tool for father-son bonding. I mean what dad doesn't like to get out there and shoot at a couple of targets with his son?

It all really depends on the level of responsibility you have. If your parents think you're really responsible and you want one, I say go for it!

Here is a website for BB guns.
