Any of us who are parents have admonished our offspring, \u201cUse things the way they\u2019re meant to be used.\u201d A target gun with a light, easy target trigger should be used for target shooting only.

Police and armed citizens alike take criminal suspects at gunpoint far more often than they have to shoot them. We can admonish \u201ckeep your finger off the trigger\u201d all we want, but when we feel threatened instinct may still drive that finger to that trigger, and now we\u2019re only a startle response away from a potentially fatal unintended discharge tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
