Petrichor Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 If you allow gun play, what sort of rules do you set, if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Do not shoot anyone that isn't playing. I wanted NO guns, but dh veto'ed my vote on that. Now I just set rules about playing with them. Same goes for sword play too. If someone isn't playing don't go around pretending to attack them.

gardenmom5 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 only point the gun at someone who is armed and playing too. if they're not armed and he points at them, the gun is taken away. no shooting animals. (stuffed animals are okay. ;p) I was taught the first rules of real guns are - don't point at something you don't plan on shooting, and only shoot something you plan to kill. so I've adapted his rules for a nerf gun from those.

BigMamaBird Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 No shooting the pets and no shooting someone who is not playing with you. For example, you can't just run up to a kid in the waiting room at the Doctor's and shoot them, but if your sister is playing "guns" with you, you may shoot her.

Um_2_4 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We only allow target shooting. So no shooting at anyone, just targets they set up. (usually blocks, towers built with duplos, etc) This holds even if friends come over to play (doesn't happen often anyways since we live kinda far). Any pointing of guns at anyone in the house and guns are taken away. I grew up with guns/hunting and was taught the same rules as poster above (only aim at what you intend to kill). We only have nerf guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshin Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 We don't have any many rules, but my boys aren't much into gun play. The main rule is don't shoot anyone in the face with a gun that actually fires projectiles (water, Nerf, marshmallow) and don't shoot anyone not playing with said projectile. This is broken and allowed occasionally, namely when all three of us ambush DH with Nerf guns when he comes out of the shower. Now, I could write a book on our roughhousing/wrestling rules...

Parrothead Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Do not shoot the mom. No head shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I will amend my watergun rules. (from when my olders were little.) only squirt people who have a water gun. if you shoot someone without a water gun, they may use the hose.

kewb Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 No shooting or pointing gun at mom. No head shots. No shooting someone who is not playing with you. No guns in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
