ORIGINAL: littlewonder It's not common but it is done by those who are into risky, edgy bdsm. I know a couple of couples who partake in it. They have been around guns their entire lives, have taken numerous courses, collect them, know the workings inside and out. Can an accident possibly happen? Yup, just like with anything. Master could hold a knife to my neck and if I accidentally move, he could slit my neck too. It's just another one of those things that you decide if the risk is worth it or not. If it's not your bag, then just say no and find someone else. If they have been around guns their entire lives and taken numerous courses, they would not be playing with them like that. I'll say a lot of things about the NRA and gun organizations being out in space about some things, but on gun safety they are first class, and the first thing they teach you is that guns are not toys and you never, ever fuck around with them like they are. They are violating the basic safety rules of gun ownership, the prime one, as many people have written, is always assume a weapon is loaded, if you aim it at someone, you should be in a position where you are doing so to shoot them, and if you aim to shoot them, you are prepared to kill them. Playing with real guns in a scene is asking for trouble, as someone pointed out, with semi automatic handguns (these days the most common kind), you can have a bullet in the chamber and not know it. More importantly, I object to people doing that because a gun is a tool, a serious tool, and deserves to be treated as one. I was on a rescue squad at one point, and I have been called to scenes where someone accidentally shot themselves, and more times then not, it was because they treated the gun lightly, thought they knew what they were doing. I can understand the thrill of it, in play acting or edge play, but it is edge play IMO done with the wrong thing. I am not a gun owner myself, but I respect them for what they are, they are serious weapon, not a toy. Among other things, if you 'play' with guns like that, it takes the idea out of your head how serious a thing they are. Knives and other forms of edge play are not as dangerous, they are things we use every day, guns are quite the different story. Yeah, you can get hurt with a knife, but it is in a totally different league then playing with real guns.
